Analogue Fax on Digital Network ???

CyBerman

We have a digital telephone network at work and up until now have been able to get lines converted to analogue to allow us to use our faxes. We have now been told that there are now no more analogue lines to be had.

Is there any way we can connect a standard analogue fax to a digital network?

We have BT to RJ45 adaptors but they don't do the actual signal conversion. Is there something that can connect and convert?

Or are there faxes for digital networks that aren't too expensive?

Thanks for the suggestion, but, this is the NHS, so third-parties are a no-no.

Has the NHS heard of email yet?

The last of the pricing options is free to you, so you could put it out to tender, but free is difficult to beat.

If you are running out of analogue lines, it sounds like your IT contractor needs to invest in one of these:

after a 5 year feasibility study of course.

Don't forget to hire a few 'project managers' at £500 a day

albertross is right - you can get ISDN fax cards for a more automated solution , but they aren't cheap.
