Will this FaxModem work with Ooma (VoIP, I think), or does it need to be a traditional telephone line?

The USR modem will work with a voip service but you need to connect it to your voip unit with a phone cable. I do not know if the Ooma unit will work with this set up.

The device will support fax. Before singing up with Vonage, ask do they support fax on the plan you're buying and the link speed you have.

Same way you used to receive faxes before. I would think you plug the fax machine in between the obi and the phone. You should specify who is providing your phone/voip service, then you can get clearer help.

Yes it will work sometimes. I prefer the Hiro voice/fax modem, works every time with Call-wave pro.

Sorry, I do not have voip so I am unsure. I can say that it does work great with regular phone service.

I have an all in one printer connected and fax from there via google voice with no problems so I am sure it would work with a PC fax modem as well.

For VOIP fax you may use this. I do. OBi202 VoIP Phone Adapter with Router, 2-Phone Ports, T.38 Fax

It is unlikely that the unit will work over a VOIP type of phone. Typically a VOIP phone has its own program and/or chipset to that takes care of all calls. (thats why most VOIP phones are fairly large and look like a modem/router) The alarm module isn't that sophisticated... it is similar to a 56K modem that just dials out on a standard (not IP) phone line.

If you have the modem connected to a phone line, it should work if you follow the instructions for connection and setup. I have this modem as a backup and it works great for me but I have not used it for faxing as I have a dedicated fax. Alternatively, you could call (toll free) or e-mail USRobotics and speak with one of their pre-sales or technical support technicians; and if your questions are answered satisfactorily about the modem, you could then order the modem from your vendor of choice. Good luck!

There is no possibility of using fax with VOIP. Not now, not in the future. There's an internet article about this somewhere that I'm too lazy to look up.

If you have a good internet connection and an American style phone connector (RJ-45), it should be fine. I didn't try it, however. Vonage has an "optimized" fax line option, for which you pay an additional charge beyond just your voice line. But, they admit this: "NOTE: Your Vonage voice line is not optimized for fax service, however, you can send and receive an occasional fax on this line. To do so, unplug the telephone cord from the port on the Vonage adapter and plug the cord from your fax machine into that same port." In other words, if your network connection is good, you should be fine.

The device has two-line capability. You can use either one for voice or fax, depending on the service provider you are using. I use VOIPo and am very happy with their service.

Yes it will work, I have a fax in my house that we use also. You will have to pick a Google number. I like it.

If you mean the "Modem" that you use to receive your home phone service on , then yes you can, instead of plugging your phone into the modem, you plug the Brother Fax Machine" into the modem, it works out great because the Brother Fax Machine is also a Phone that can be used as a phone as well as a fax machine and a photo copier. I really like mine and am glad I bought it.

I don't see why it wouldn't work, other than Nettalk is a little glitchy (used it for a year...some dropped calls, often garbled voices). This glitchiness could pose a problem. You'll want to connect the Nettalk to all your phone cable in the house rather than just one phone. I switched to ooma which is bit more pricey, but every bit as stable and clear as a landline. I'd recommend this. With all Voip, if the power goes out, so does your phone.

We use a Panasonic cordless phone system on our Ooma base system. We have used the Linx to connect to two different fax machines ( not similtaneously) I expect there is good chance your Dect 6 would work very well. Have you called Ooma tech support? We have always found them very helpful.

it should - it is currently being used with OOMA a similar VOIP system; earlier Uniden phones also were used with the OOMA sys.
