..."Fax over IP is a technology that lets faxes be sent in real-time over an IP network. The GFI FaxMaker server can send faxes over IP by using IP-enabled software or devices. These devices are documented in here. This type of faxing is ideal should you need to perform least cost routing between geographically dispersed offices, however requires a compatible gateway device to perform the translation between the IP network and the phone network."...

..."Fax Over IP, or FoIP, is a method of sending or receiving a fax through a IP network instead of through traditional phone lines. FoIP rides on the same platform as Voice Over IP (VoIP) calls, SIP. By placing calls these on the IP networks, businesses can converge their data and communications networks into one."...

Keep in mind that when you start putting faxes onto the Internet, you may no longer be meeting privacy requirements for certain classes of information like medical records and the similar data.

The Internet does not offer the same level of privacy as Ma Bell. We could debate whether that is REALLY the case, but in the eyes of government regulators, it does make a difference.

Step 1 is to use the IP Telephone facility to talk to the supplier of that facility, and to ask what is involved and how much it costs.

Steps 2 and onwards are based upon the outcome of that particular discussion.

The forum is in no position to invoke this sequence.
