Hi All
Could you please tell me if I'll be able to send/receive faxes thru phone with freephoneline.ca.
Thanks in advance.

And the likelihood of finding E-2-E correct implementation is slim-to-none... although in hit and miss applications, it may work.
I do not have an ATA (or config file) and cannot find any software that I can force to work correctly with the FPL-supplied softphone, so I just usually manage to find an email address, convert to PDF and go that route. There are times when this is not an alternative tho ...

With error-correcting modem technology, that was a big step ahead in reducing garbled faxes... why the FOIP solution has not come up with something essentially in the form of sending the data like a TORRENT is absolutely beyond me ... but I am not a technical coder.
So the take-away from this is ...
Unless you are an advanced user, or plan to use a commercial provider for your faxing out needs, FOIP is hit-and-miss, not guaranteed to NOT-fail and should be used at the users own risk!
