Have POTS routed thru OBI110 to a Different locations OBI
azrobert:
I have an OBi110 and an OBi200. I just successfully sent 4 one page faxes over my POTS line. The 1st two the fax machine was connected directly to the OBi110. The 2nd two the fax machine was connected to the OBi200. On the 2nd test the call setup is done over the OBiTalk. Once that is complete the fax is sent from the OBi200 to the OBi110 over my local network. In your case the fax will be sent over the OBiTalk network, so there is no guaranty you will get the same result. Also, the quality of your network and POTS line will make a difference. I'm not setup to send a fax to myself, so I couldn't test inbound faxes. This is the best I can do. Maybe someone else can chime in.

If you'd like to test it, I use faxzero.com for testing fax receipt. You can send a one-page fax to your own fax number for free. For testing fax sending, faxtoy.net is handy.

In regards to Fax, that is very important to me. People will be dialing my home POTS # to send me faxes, I want to be able to receive those faxes in my office. What would be the most stable way to get those faxes?
If this is "very important", then don't decrease reliability by chaining several points of failure together. Get a fax mailbox. The faxes get received at the provider's data center, and are then converted to a PDF or JPG file. You can have the service email you the file wherever you want, immediately. I use Callcentric for this purpose. You can get one of their free NY State inbound numbers (DIDs), and assign it to their fax server.

what do I do at my work obi to link it to my obi110 at home?
You need to create an OBiTalk account then add your OBi110 and OBi200 to your account. Now you can communicate with any OBi device on the OBiTalk network by using the OBi number of the other device. Inbound calls you just route the call to the OBiTalk with the destination OBi number. To send an outbound call the format is OBi number, star and outbound number (290123456*18005551212). The OBi200 can be configured to automatically add the OBi number and star to an outbound number.
Can you help with a little more explanation:
1) How do I do this.. "Inbound calls you just route the call to the OBiTalk with the destination OBi number. "
2) How do I do this.. "The OBi200 can be configured to automatically add the OBi number and star to an outbound number."
Where do I change the configuration, and what do i enter?
Thanks!
