dive_mistress Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Ok Now that i have such great internet service I decided to cancel my landline. (barely worked anyways). However I miss being able to send a fax from my pc. I did a search and noticed some services, and a free one too www.ourfax.com Anyone ever use this or something similar? Thanks!

penzman Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Canceled the landline? You have ADSL and works great? If so, it may not work very well once the landline is out of service unless you are on IPSTAR? We're on TOT ADSL, we have a fax/photocopier/scanner, phone line goes into to a filter which has 2 in, other in comes from fax, the one out on the filter goes to the router. fax/photocopier/scanner is shared on home network and connected directly to one pc by USB.

lopburi3 Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 The filter should have one input, your phone line. It is then split with two outputs, one to modem/router/computer that is unfiltered and one that filters all the modem noise out that you attach your phone.

penzman Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 We only use cell phones, no phone is attached. I guess it's plugged in backwards to allow connecting the phone line in and the fax side by side and the other end (says WALL) with one wire goes into the router. Looks like the filter works both ways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 Believe you have your fax plugged in where a phone/answering machine/fax or 56kb modem would be. That is the filtered output and probably marked phone. The other output is to the ADSL modem and allows the full frequency spectrum to pass through. The input is labeled wall on your units but could also be a direct line from telephone box, as I have mine, and then use the phone output to feed the wall system (disconnected from phone box) and only have to use one filter for all the extensions in home.

astral Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 I use Net2Phone for overseas calls and sending fax. It is paid service, but quite reasonable. Also check out this link a few weeks back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dive_mistress Posted May 28, 2006 Author Share Posted May 28, 2006 Yes I am on IPSTAR, so I was wondering about other services, such as the net 2 phone, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_falang Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I found TOT IP STARS basic 256 package acceptable but at times not much better than Dial Up or GPRS (which is pretty good in Thailand). You should consider using ONSPEED for details www.thailandGPRS.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
