Even with many digital alternatives available for sending and receiving documents, faxing refuses to be replaced and instead has kept up with current forms of communication, integrating into email and IP networking.

Perhaps the idea of having an original copy is what makes faxing more appealing than emailing a Word or even a PDF document, but regardless of the reason, faxing is still around and quite commonly used.

After connecting the device it should be recognized in the Print Fax system preferences (you may need to manually add it), and while you can set it up for use with an ISP, you do not need to do this for sending faxes.

With the modem now attached to your home phone line, you should be able to print from any document and select the fax as your printer device, then enter a proper fax phone number and send the fax away.

For VoIP clients, faxes are generally sent client-to-client, so in the case of ZoIPer you cannot send a fax to any fax machine.

Likewise, a local T.38 gateway requires another gateway on the receiving end for the transmission to work, which may not be implemented in the receivers Fax setup.

For instance, the popular Vonage VoIP service has a fax feature that can send faxes over their network to any fax machine, because they translate the fax data with their own T.30T.38 gateways instead of relying on the client to have these gateways set up.

A few of these services are the following, though you can search for one by Googling Internet fax or some similar query.

Services such as Fossi let you use the systems standard print dialogue to send an Internet-based fax just as you would with a local fax modem.
