Yes. Maybe.

You have to have a dedicated fax machine, and sometimes it can be made to work, more often not, even with tweaking the QoS settings, adding the *99* prefix, and adjusting the dialing delay. OOMA+Fax+VOIP = pretty iffy, and I suspect that my internet connection here might be flaky enough that I would have no chance.

I guess what I'm looking for is fax software on my computer that will let me send/receive faxes. The whole OOMA thing may be irrelevant. Doesn't computer fax software take care of the dialing stuff, or does it have to work through a telephone? I am invincibly ignorant when it comes to such things.

Back in my '386 days with Windows 3.1, I remember being able to send faxes without a fax machine...
