Re: Bye Bye Fax

"Here in Switzerland for example the country has already gone through the switchover to SIP."

Sorry, I thought it was obvious that my specific issue with the Fax is that it uses a PSTN line (the main point of the article). I have no issue with a Fax implementation that uses SIP, or other digital methods.

Considering there's a lot of CCGs that are actually having to import traditional Fax Machines from the US because of a lack of supply in the UK, and that they're paying a small fortune for a business BT line in order to send/receive half a dozen pharmaceutical orders a day, it's a huge waste.

P.S - We have found many analogue-sip converters when used for Faxes aren't great for reliability. We tend to use them more for things like DECT phones/PA systems etc.
