All rights reserved. 1 Abstract The purpose of this review is to compare and organize information about the top five e-fax services (also known as internet fax). This service utilizes the internet to send and receive faxes and requires a computer instead of a fax machine. When your company switches to e-fax, you’ll likely post sizeable savings. Every company we review on this site has a free 30-day trial so you can see how each provider operates before you commit. To assist with your decision we’ve provided a comparison chart, detailing the features of each provider. 2 © Specialty Answering Service. All rights reserved. 2 Why Use e-Fax? There are a number of reasons why a company would want to switch to e-fax. Advantages include: 1. No peripheral hardware or software needed 2. Does not require an extra telephone line 3. Can be integrated with email 4. May send and receive multiple faxes at the same time 5. Costs less than traditional faxing 6. May send and receive from anywhere that has internet access, including mobile phones and tablets. Due to the limitations of the technology, there is no technical advantage to using a traditional fax machine.

  • GAO T.38 & Internet Aware Fax Product Sheet
    Product Overview GAO T.38 & Internet Aware Fax Product Description T.38 is a standard by International Telecommunication Union (ITU) for real-time fax communication over IP networks. Under the T.38 protocol, fax signals and data from the local fax terminal are packed as Internet Fax Protocol (IFP) packets at the local gateway to be sent over the IP network. The gateway at the remote end of the IP network, unpacks the IFP payload relayed over network and either regenerates the fax signals for transmission to the remote fax machine, or directly processes the signals as an Internet Aware Fax (IAF). Figure 1 shows the network topology for a T.38 connected network. Each T.38 device on the IP network acts as either a gateway, or an IAF device. Gateways may connect to fax machines directly, or over the PSTN. The T.38 and fax module in this document will operate in connection with a gateway and act together as an IAF such that no fax machine is required. Figure 1: T.38 Network Topology As shown in Figure 4, the interface with the IP network is provided by the local gateway and is mostly independent of the T.38 solution. The standard transport layer protocol that will be used by the gateway is either UDP + RTP, UDP + UDPTL or TCP. GAO T.38 & Internet Aware Fax www.GAOResearch.com Page 1 of 4 Product Overview GAO T.38 & Internet Aware Fax TCP Sessions In a TCP session, the GAO T.38 solution will exchange IFP packets with the application that is the TCP payload as shown in Figure 2.
