Fax Voip T38 Fax & Voice

Fax Voip is a Windows based software that provides a full-featured SIP/H.323 softphone for Voice over IP (VoIP) calling, and also provides full functionality for sending & receiving facsimile transmissions via T.38 & G.711. From the perspective of your fax or voice application, it acts as a Voice/Fax modem, installing Virtual COM Ports and Virtual Fax Voip 14.4k TAPI Voice-Fax modems on your system. You can configure your Fax & Voice program to operate with both the Fax Voip COM ports or virtual modems. From the perspective of your VoIP network, it provides a fully featured SIP/H.323 client with support for faxing over VoIP trunks, both in G.711 and T.38 (and more importantly, with Error Correction Mode - ECM!)

A common question we get is whether Fax Voip T38 Fax & Voice can be used with Microsoft Fax & Scan. Yes, it can, since it installs virtual modems which appear just like normal modems to Fax & Scan. This is currently the preferred method to use Microsoft Fax & Scan with our services, since Fax Voip FSP is not yet certified for our platform.
