T.37 actually isnt that bad. When its 'fax' (ie analog data passed to represent data) its TDM, however to cross the internet and reap cost savings its effectively mime encoded and sent via SMTP. This gives you the TDM capabilities (no jitter, low latency, all the things faxes like). The combination of the two is appealing from a technical standpoint vs analog fax over a network because of bandwidth savings, potentially easier to distribute to multiple destinations, allows for TCP connections on a lower QoS to be sent, etc. At least appealing to me.
This also makes it easier to integrate into a unified messaging solution because you would have the fax as an email at some point, delivery does not have to be to another fax machine. > C F wrote: > > The same way the best roads can handle landing and takeoffs of 747s > > but weren't meant for it, a runway is what's needed, VoIP could have > > faxing with it, but TDM is really whats needed.
