Does FaxTalk FaxCenter Pro work with a DSL or Cable Modem?
Currently, the hardware used in DSL and Cable based modems does not support the ability to send and receive faxes or perform voice messaging operations. Until DSL and Cable modems support the commands necessary for software such as FaxTalk you will not be able to use DSL or cable modems with FaxTalk. This is true for all fax and voice messaging software.
How many lines does FaxTalk Multiline Server support?
The FaxTalk Multiline Server software supports up to 8 modems/lines. Individual lines can be configured to limit connections to incoming faxes only, outgoing faxes only or allow both sending and receiving faxes.
Does FaxTalk provide a built-in SMTP client for sending faxes by email?
FaxTalk does include a built-in SMTP client that can be used for sending faxes by email. You can also use a third-party SMTP email client such as Microsoft Outlook for sending faxes to email addresses.
Can I order the FaxTalk and have it electronically delivered or does the software have to be shipped to me?
Yes, when you order the software online, you have the option to select ESD Download as the delivery method. This will result in you being able to download the purchased software directly from the Internet instead of paying for the cost of shipping and waiting for delivery.
Will FaxTalk answer the phone when my computer is in sleep mode?
Yes, but this really is an issue that depends entirely on the computer and modem hardware. When a computer is in sleep mode, and an incoming call occurs, the modem hardware is actually responsible for “waking” up the computer. This is commonly referred to as a “Wake on Ring” feature. Once the computer has been told to “wake up” by the modem hardware, the FaxTalk software will be waiting for the modem to report the incoming call and will answer the phone accordingly. You should check with your modem or computer manufacturer to determine if your modem supports “Wake on Ring” when in sleep mode.
Can FaxTalk answer the phone when I’m logged out of Windows?
Yes, FaxTalk runs as a service under Windows and can answer calls and send faxes while logged out of Windows.
Does FaxTalk support using a scanner to scan documents when creating a fax?
Yes, using a color or black and white scanner, you can scan documents directly from the Send a Fax screen.
