Hi

I don't know how to fax from my Mac via Vonage. I know it is possible because people have done it. I just don't know which cable should be plugged where and how to configure my Mac. Somebody help me please!!! Sad

There are two ways.

1. If you need both incoming as well as outgoing faxes, you need Vonage's extra fax line ($9.99 in the US).

2. If you only require outgoing faxes, you don't need an extra fax line, you can use Vonage's free outgoing fax service here:

1. To use v-fax, log onto the site and follow the instructions.

2. To send a fax using a dedicated fax number, you must connect either a fax machine or a mac directly through to the second telephone port on your Vonage adapter. To connect a modern mac, you need a usb modem, available at Apple or Amazon or equivalent store.

3. To send a fax using a fax machine, is the same as for any office.

4. To send using a mac, use the printer dialog box (this is for Mac OS/X Tiger or Leopard). Click and hold pdf (bottom left of the printer dialog box), then select Fax PDF. It will ask for your recipient's phone number and will fax a pdf copy of the document.
