Re: Can IBM i fax over internet

[Jeff Crosby <jlcrosby@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Magic Jack works with faxes, eh?  Never thought of that.  It's send only,
we don't receive any via 5798-FAX.  But it would still need a modem
attached to the i, wouldn't it?

My original post talked about the phone line, but in the scenario I'm
thinking of there would be no modem on the i either.
