Does anyone have one of those VoIP setups (e.g. Skype) where there
is an external box, hanging off of the local ethernet, that lets you
plug in an old-fashioned land line phone? Could you please test the
new FaxCenter beta on an Intel Mac + external USB modem with the
VoIP interface? It would be totally cool if we could use brand new
Macs to send and receive faxes sans POTS!
I have that kind of setup and it did not fax reliably with a G4 iMac.
I don't know why it would be any better with an Intel machine. The
fax is converting an originally digital signal to analog. Converting
it back and forth a couple more times through VOIP doesn't seem to
work very well.
