When using a VoIP phone system with Microsoft XP, Vista or 7 the Microsoft
Fax (or Microsoft Fax and Scan) part of Windows becomes inoperable. FaxBack
has just released a free software plug-in that solves this problem.

The free plug-in is available at www.faxback.com/msfax/release.

FaxBack has developed a new VoIP fax plug-in that enables users of Windows
operating systems the ability to send and receive faxes using Microsoft Fax
when connected to a VoIP phone system. This capability was previously
unachievable without expensive or complex hardware configurations. FaxBack’s
VoIP Plug-in for Microsoft Fax provides a no cost, Microsoft based, VoIP fax
solution that adds further value to a company’s VoIP investments.

Small businesses migrating to VoIP can now take advantage of the Microsoft
Fax application that comes with Windows. This simple download enables these
users to have a reliable, yet simple VoIP faxing solution that offers
additional faxing options and Microsoft Office integration.

Connecting it to your VoIP infrastructure is very simple and will allow all
users in your business the ability to fax from their desktop. VoIP systems
include: Microsoft Response Point, local VoIP media gateways and VoIP Service
Providers supporting SIP T.38.

Routing inbound faxes to specific users with DID routing is straightforward
with the Free Edition of the VoIP Plug-in for Microsoft Fax. By simply adding
routing rules on your local VoIP media gateway, users will be able to
automatically route inbound faxes directly to the intended recipients desktop.

Users can also install the VoIP Plug-in for Microsoft Fax on their Microsoft
Small Business Server (SBS) to provide a VoIP fax server that is always
available to receive faxes to further enhance their Microsoft Fax solution.
With the SBS version of the VoIP Fax Plug-in for Microsoft Fax, the Plug-in
is installed on the SBS server instead of individual workstations.

The FaxBack technology is certified by Microsoft and leading carriers
including AT&T, Qwest, and Global Crossing, among others.

Apparently only usable if you use a VOIP gateway in your network
(through which the outbound faxes are sent). Not usable if you are
using a softphone on your own host to utilize VOIP services across your
network to the Internet access by your ISP.

From http://www.faxback.com/tools/datasheets/VoIP Plug-in for Microsoft Fax Datasheet8.pdf:

The VoIP Plug-in for Microsoft Fax may also be used with a VoIP provider that
supports T.38 fax relay, like Global Crossing -requiring no premise based
VoIP gateway. Your best bet is to download and try it.
