If you set your codec to G711 and lower the speed of your fax to the lowest it can handle (sometimes called "Compatibility mode" or "long distance/oversea"), then you *might*. Success is limited.

Officially, freephoneline does not support faxing. Though there are a few DIY-ers on this board who've had success doing this who I'm sure could help you out.

I only managed to get 'simple' ones to go, which is all I really ever had to do. I plugged my Brother All In One straight into the PAP2T and it went. I didn't change anything.

Once I tried to send a complicated fax (by that I mean something where print covers most of the page like a picture) and it failed saying bad connection. But simple typed or hand written faxes go without any problems.
