Using Internet Faxing with NetCentric™ FaxStorm

Internet Faxing

(For Windows® 3.1 / 95/98 /NT® 4.0 Only)

Internet faxing (NetCentric FaxStorm) brings together the power of the PC and the economy of the Internet. Outgoing faxes are relayed from your desktop to a network provider’s fax server over an IP connection. From the server, the fax job is transmitted across the Internet using sophisticated least-cost-routing algorithms, then delivered to a fax machine using local phone lines, or to another computer as an E-mail attachment. Faxes can be sent to a single recipient or to multiple recipients. NetCentric™ FaxStorm tracks your faxes to their destinations, and informs you of their status. When servers are down due to Internet outages, NetCentric™ FaxStorm re-routes your fax jobs and requests for account status.

You can access incoming faxes from any web-connected desktop and even forward them to others directly from the Inbox account.
