Just out of curiosity, why not? If I can use an old school voice phone
to send regular voice data down a DSL line using a filter, why can I not
send a fax? After all it is just the same as a voice phone call. All
the fax or modem does is push the data across in a standard set of
audible tones, no different then a voice call. The only thing I can see
is if they compressed the voice channel so much that the tones can not
be correctly received, but then you should notice a difference in the
voice quality to right?
I remember really old school modems and fax machines that did not even
plug into the wall, they just had a mike and speaker you set your phone
hand set on.
I can send faxes with my Cox digital phone at home and at work I have
old school faxes going through an IP based PBX and over a T1, I would
think you could send one over DSL but never had a chance to try it. I
would love to know what is going on that would prevent it. (And this is
the place with people in the know ;)

You have to send a fax via a voice phone line and modem. You cannot send
a fax via DSL unless you use one of those Internet fax gateways but
those can be used by any Internet connection not just DSL.

Subject: How to send a fax via DSL?
.
When I had a dial-up modem rather than a dsl connection,
I was able to send faxes from the command line via modem
using a program called 'efax'.
But now that I am connected via DSL, I wonder how I can
send a fax, since there is no dial tone?
What is the solution?
