I actually wrote a HTTP fax gateway for a customer once. Send it PDFs 
and a phone number, and it would feed it into hylafax/asterisk to fax 
it. Worked great.

Yes, but for that you need to physically go outside their building.

For badly-secured devices on the internet, they can be hacked from next
door as easily as Eastern Europe. And there are many wily people in the

If they insist on fax and the volume isn't crazy, HTTPS fax is an
awesome solution for this.  We have never had an issue with it, and we
have 100+ ATAs out there using it in all sorts of situations.

Otherwise POTS is generally my recommendation if FoIP/T.38 doesn't work.

*nods* Not as secure. Ya know, I can TLS end to end, but I can also stick a 30 
year old tape recorder on the phone line NID at the business and record your 
fax.

I just ran into this yesterday. 
I wonder if it is a HIPPA thing or DEA thing where you can control the end 
point of the conveyance of the information? 

IP is not as secure, perhaps, in someone’s mind. 

Them doctors loves their faxes. 

First FTTH customer I ever did was to a larger office full of doctors. I talked 
them into swinging everything to me. 
I payed to have the incumbent hook them back up to POTS after a few days of 
trying. 
The main doctor in this new office building was a friend of mine. 

I will never touch a doctor or pharmacy again. 

Fax and IP/SIP just do not play nice.

I think there is something about the law and a document being a legal signature 
being an original or a fax. Laws haven’t caught up to digital signatures or

One of my Physical therapy customers, all their patient documentation is via 
fax. The therapist hand writes out the report for the patient, then it's faxed 
to corporate where it's automagically sucked into the customers digital file. 
So they send 100 faxes/day. You would think that it should all be just entered 
right into the customers digital file.

Re: [AFMUG] Fax Machines

2021-11-19 Thread Nate Burke
All my fax customers requiring physical machines are Pharmacies faxing 
prescriptions, CPA's dealing with the IRS, Car Dealers doing Financing, 
and Realtors doing who knows what.  I do have one auto repair guy that 
wanted a real fax machine so he could scribble out a sketch on a piece 
of paper and fax it to his supplier.  I'm pretty sure 100% of the need 
for a real fax machine is the ease of scribbling it on a piece of paper 
and sending it.  Instead of scanning and then emailing.


Everyone else uses Email<->fax and is super happy with that.

I'm having trouble with one of my customers who insists on having a real
fax machine.  I'm not convinced that it's not the Fax machine talking to
the ATA, so I was going to take another fax machine to their location to
test.  From the Packet captures, it looks like the Fax machine does not
successfully negotiate the baud rate.  I have several customers doing
faxing with ATA's and fax machines, the only difference with this
customer is that their ATA is off my network behind a Comcast 
connection.


My desktop laser multifunction is a fax machine, but it also weighs
about 80lb so I don't really want to lug it over.  I figured I could
pickup a cheap inkjet printer for <$50 and it would fax, but it looks
like fax capability is now relegated to the $200+ machines. Which I
guess makes sense since nobody 'should' be faxing anymore.

Are there still cheap fax machines out there that I'm missing.

Why do people fax anything in 2021?

*Subject: *[AFMUG] Fax Machines

I'm having trouble with one of my customers who insists on having a real
fax machine.  I'm not convinced that it's not the Fax machine talking to
the ATA, so I was going to take another fax machine to their location to
test.  From the Packet captures, it looks like the Fax machine does not
successfully negotiate the baud rate.  I have several customers doing
faxing with ATA's and fax machines, the only difference with this
customer is that their ATA is off my network behind a Comcast connection.

My desktop laser multifunction is a fax machine, but it also weighs
about 80lb so I don't really want to lug it over.  I figured I could
pickup a cheap inkjet printer for <$50 and it would fax, but it looks
like fax capability is now relegated to the $200+ machines. Which I
guess makes sense since nobody 'should' be faxing anymore.

Are there still cheap fax machines out there that I'm missing.
