Windows Fax and Scan

[Templar]

Does anyone know whether or not Windows Fax and Scan feature will work with
MajicJack? I would purchase an external fax modem but instead of plugging it
into the wall phone jack, I would plug it into the majic jack which is
plugged into a USB connection on the computer.
Thanks

Read the use terms for you broadband connection. It may specifically
exclude voip or fax transmissions.

Magic Jack has search capabilities on their web site that my further answer

We do not officially support using faxing with magicJack.

Please try the following steps to use magicJack with your fax (contact your
fax manufacturer for details):

Turn off error correction on your fax machine or program
Set the fax machine or program to use the slowest speed available
Increase the speed, checking at each speed that faxes work
