VOIP: The Free Ride. We proudly present Multi-Tech's MVPFXS-8/16/24 MultiVOIPTM FXS SIP
Gateways. These three models allow voice/fax communication to be transmitted at no additional expense
over your existing IP network, which has ordinarily been data only. To access this free voice and fax
communication, you simply connect the MultiVOIP to your telephone equipment and your existing
Internet connection. These analog MultiVOIPs inter-operate readily with T1 or E1 MultiVOIP units.
