There was (and may still be) a scheme based on DNS to route faxes across the internet, and send them from modem local to the recipient. Demon were the local sender for the whole UK some 10 years ago. I'm racking my brains, but I can't remember what it was called, which makes it difficult to see if it's still running. -- Andrew Gabriel |

![]() "Ben Clay" wrote in message ... Just a thought: is there a Fax Over IP offerring - so I can fax Auntie Mabel in Oz? Ben I might be wrong. I think it happened once before....But, as far as I'm aware, connecting a fax machine to an ATA using a normal VOIP sevice would work. Although, there are some issues with compression codecs, so G711 is recommended, as this is uncompressed PCM. As I said, I might be wrong, so feel free to correct me. Geo |

Uncompressed PCM is of course perfectly adequate for FAX, and G711 is that quality codec, but.. You won't be guaranteed 64k PCM end to end if you are using an IP leg which traverses the public Internet. It IS the weakest link. -- The PG -- |
