Feb 21, 2009

-   I have an HP 6310 all-in-one and Mediacom cable modem for my phone line and internet. I am wondering if I can hook up this fax machine to the cable modem somehow and send and recieve faxes over it. I've searched a lot of sites and resources and some say you can while others say you can't. I want to know before I open the box and can no longer take it back. Thanks. -   Guest

No. The Cable Modem itself will not transmit and receive faxes like an analog telephone modem will. However, if you sign up for a service like jfax.com or eFax.com, you can receive and transmit faxes as email (for free or a minimal fee).

No you cannot fax directy with a cable or DSL modem unless you use an internet faxing service like efax or jfax etc. However, if you have a scanner and still have regular modem in your machine, you can fax that way as I have been doing. Also I want to point out that digital phone lines like Comcast Digital Voice and Verizon FIOS etc work with regular modems. Just use your regular modem as you would if you had an analog line.

Apprentice has the answer! I tried it and it works great! Instead of to the modem, I use vonage internet phone, so I just unplugged my phone from the adapter and plugged in the fax line from my computer to it and sent it no problem. Thanks Apprentice. This was the answer I was looking for.

Explain that there is an alternative to web-based FAX services (such as eFAX.com or jFAX.com). This alternative is FoIP (FAX over Internet Protocal)
