I have looked all over the Xnet site and can't  find an answer to this.... I currently have Xnet Fusion at home and would like to add a fax line. Is this possible and at what cost ? Thanks for any help.

Do you currently use VoIP over Fusion? If so what type of ATA do you have?

AG310 does T.38 for faxing so it's really just a matter of getting a 2nd line either with VFX for faxing or with 2talk who also do a good job with T.38

Your best option is adding a Fax to Email number (you can do through Viewbill). $5 +gst per month. This handles incoming faxes, and they all conveniently end up in your emailbox - so you only need to print the ones you want. A great system and very reliable.

For sending, you just fax out on your existing VFX line. NB: the AG310 is a single VoIP line device, so you cannot add a second line to this device. (Thus another reason why Fax to Email is a good option)

The only other thing I suggest you do is call WxC and ask them to apply the fax codec to your AG310 device.

Thanks coffeebaron, Fax to Email looks the way to go. I have a cordless base station plugged into my AG310 at present, so would a 2 into 1 socket be ok to have both base station & fax plugged into AG310.

Oops forgot the AG310 is 1 FXO port only.

Yes plugging a phone+fax into a double adapter should work fine. Will allow you to use it for outgoing calls and use fax -> email for incoming.
