[cisco-voip] fax over ip, great for receiving, how about sending?

[Kelemen Zoltan]

We typically use MFPs, and their scan-to-email functionality. It's not 
as convenient as a simple fax machine, but it works.

With shared faxes with one number (I'm not sure if I've got your 
question right) we usually direct incoming faxes to either a generic 
email address (like office at corporate.com) or better to an email alias, 
that will forward the incoming fax to a few people.

The fax server solution we use/sell can set the callerid to either the 
number assigned to a user based on the sender's email address, or I can 
force all faxes to exit the server with a single callerID.

Also, there's sometimes a fax machine left alone on a single POTS line 
from the telco.

regards,
  Zoltan
