Anyone have experience making a fax machine run over voip?

ETA I’m willing to pay somebody to come out and hook all this shite up too if one of y’all looking for a gig

frick that, I'm not getting trapped in your sex dungeon.

I just plugged mine in and it works. What’s the problem?

Yes, buy an eFax subscription.

Same here.

Are you talking about your service provider eliminating analog to the premise, so you have a Cox/charter/ATT/etc? If so, they should provide an adapter and your analog stuff should work. Sounds like this isn't your case

So have you gone out and leased your own VOIP provider and are trying to get a small analog system in place to work over your old internal analog system? You probably want an Obihai between your router and your Plain, Old Telephone System

Are you trying to replace your analog system with VOIP? You need compatible phones with your service provider (if doing about 6 extensions or fewer this is probably all you need) or a PBX if you want something more robust with more features. Theoretically you could probably do this with an ATA that's compatible with your provider or pbx at each extension as well, but I'm failing to think of a scenario where you would want that instead of an Obi (carries higher voltage, so it can run a standard home or small office from one ATA and the old lines instead of 1 ATA/seat. I've never tested those two claims, but I've seen them repeated)

Reddit has a pretty active VOIP community with some pretty good beginner guides.

I’ll do it. Let me pull over at the nearest pay phone and I’ll give you a call.

Have you looked into Ooma? It’s very inexpensive and it’s plug and play. We hooked up a house full of phones and a fax machine in 5 minutes.
