What is FoIP – Fax over IP?

FAX over T38

FoIP stands for Fax over IP and refers to the process of sending and receiving faxes via a VoIP network.

Fax over IP works via T38 and requires a T38 capable VoIP Gateway as well as a T38 capable fax machine, fax card or fax software. Fax Server software that can talk ‘T38′ allows the great Unified Communications feature, Fax to Email, which sends faxes directly via a VoIP gateway and converts the fax message into an email. The plus side is that no additional fax hardware is needed for the Fax to Email feature to work seamlessly!
