<div dir="ltr">I'm still struggling with sending FAXes from a Windows 7 system. I believe my requirements are simple: The ability to send a document (like a Word document or a QuickBooks invoice) directly from the Windows system to a FAX number. I don't want to have to use a physical modem and an ATA device. I don't want to run Windows in "Test" mode in order to use an unsigned driver. I don't mind paying some money for a commercial software product.<div>
<br></div><div style>The setup is simple: I have FreeSwitch installed on a Linux machine, on our LAN. Also on the LAN I have several Windows 7 machines and an ATA device (an OBi100). An analog FAX machine is plugged into the ATA.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>What works:</div><div style>I can send a fax from the FreeSwitch machine using txfax.</div><div style>I can send a fax through the ATA and the FreeSwitch machine using the analog FAX machine.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>What doesn't:</div><div style>I tried <a href="http://www.t38faxvoip.com">www.t38faxvoip.com</a> through FreeSwitch. It doesn't work.</div><div style>I tried <a href="http://www.t38faxvoip.com">www.t38faxvoip.com</a> directly to Flowroute. That didn't work either.</div>
<div style>I called the analog fax machine through the ATA and FreeSwitch from <a href="http://www.t38faxvoip.com">www.t38faxvoip.com</a>.</div><div style>I tried <a href="http://www.faxback.com">www.faxback.com</a>. Same results.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>The people at <a href="http://www.t38faxvoip.com">www.t38faxvoip.com</a> at least responded to my emails, but said they didn't know what was happening after looking at my Wireshark dump.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>All of the tests from Windows behaved the same. The called FAX machine answered, but never completed the handshake. The software reported that the call was answered by something other than a FAX machine.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>Yes, we can live with printing out the document and sticking it in the FAX machine, but it sure would be nice to be able to save some paper. Can't anyone solve my problem?</div><div style>
