Hi Luca. When using a VoIP phone system with Microsoft Windows XP, Vista or 7, the Microsoft Fax and Scan application becomes inoperable. FaxBack has developed a free VoIP plug-in that solves this issue. I thought your readers might like to know about it.
• This capability was previously unachievable without expensive or complex hardware configurations. • Microsoft Fax is one of the easiest fax clients to use and most convenient because it is already included in business versions of Windows operating systems. Connecting it to your VoIP infrastructure is very simple and will allow the ability to fax from the desktop. VoIP systems include: Microsoft Response Point, local VoIP media gateways and VoIP Service Providers supporting SIP T.38. • Routing inbound faxes to specific users with DID routing is straightforward with the Free Edition of the VoIP Plug-in for Microsoft Fax. By simply adding routing rules on your local VoIP media gateway, users can automatically route inbound faxes directly to the intended recipients desktop. • Users can also install the VoIP Plug-in for Microsoft Fax on their Microsoft Small Business Server (SBS) to provide a VoIP fax server that is always available to receive faxes.
