Will this all in one printer fax work with Vonage? I read somewhere that it will not work with digital fax lines only analog. can someone please tell me if they have it and it faxes using Vonage?

THANK YOU!!!

I am not sure why you say that it has a digital fax. it does not seem to be the case on their spec sheet. it looks like it operates like a regular fax.

are you sure about this?

like any fax machine, it appears to be a hit and miss type thing with Vonage. most people seem to have to tweak some settings to make it work.

do realize also that there is a separate sub-forum here for tivos/faxes.

you might get better answers there.

People have had varying succes with fax over Voip, and that is ALL Voip, not just Vonage.

Be sure that any fax machine you buy has the ability to change the baud rate down to 9600 and also has the ability to turn ECM off.

Even then, it may not work to your satisfaction (at least according to posts I have read.)

Check the sub forum referenced in the above message, http://www.vonage-forum.com/ftopic13955.html, also check http://www.voipfrustration.com/Faxing/faxing.html and http://chris.pirillo.com/how-to-fax-over-voip-on-the-internet

I've been using a Brother MFC-8840D for the last couple of years and haven't had problems sending or receiving faxes. Just last night I sent a 15 page fax and a few days ago a pair of 14 page ones.

Glad to hear it. Forums like this usually just carry the news that it doesn't work.

For the record

You want it to work with analog lines.

So the Epson could very well have worked
