Full Version: Faxing through SKYPE

Skype works very well for me, it always has. I have moved and do not need the expense of a landline. I have Fax software (FaxTools Expert) in my computer which also works very well. Please note that with my fax software, i can do very high resolution as well as color faxes in and out. I need these features. There MUST be a way to configure the Fax software to be able to fax out documents (receiving faxes is not as important although i would like to do that too) I do have a Skype phone-in number as well as phone out package. I feel that there MUST be a way to dial out to a fax number and then send the fax document over the skype connection, it is not really different than calling a number and speaking to someone. Please help with a response directly to mu e-mail as I probably will not be able to find my way back to this forum board to read responses. I will appreciate any real assistance that I can get. E-fax is not an option as the quality of the documents is crappy at best.
Thanks,

We have an article with a quick look at why faxing is not available on skype.
