<div dir="ltr">I always though the issue was circuit switch (effectively synchronous) vs packet switch (most assuredly asynchronous). think of a fax machine as a telegraph operator who expects a precise cadenc - 1-0-0-1-1-1-0-1-0 is logically the same as 1... 001-1-10...1.....0 but to a crotchedy old Western Union guy getting the latter over IM instead of a dedicated wire is confusing...<br>

<div dir="ltr">fax on a digital VOIP line is usually unreliable. Out-of-sequence voice packets are OK (and common) but that won't fly with fax transmissions. It _might_ work so just plug it into the "home phone" side of the access box and test it out.</div>
