Not sure what model to get....
RFord:
I also have the OBi110 and I can successfully send faxes using GV. However, I can't get my HP Fax Machine to successfully accept faxes automatically. The only way I can receive fax is to know ahead of time that the incoming call is a fax or answer the call and hear the fax tones and manually press the start button.
Could you tell me what fax machine (Name/Model Number) you are using and are you using ANY specific settings (reduce Baud Rate, ECM enable/disable, etc.) to get it to receive faxes automatically?

I have two OBi110 units both connected via GoogleVoice and have zero problems sending or receiving faxes via a traditional fax machine connected to either OBi110 device. I hope this helps you.
RFord:
I cannot tell you want to do, but IMHO, for the feature set that you are getting with the OBi202 you are getting more bang for your buck with the OBi202. If I was in your position, I would definitely go for the OBi202. I have the OBi110, and I wish I had one or more additional SIP lines so that I can setup one or more additional GV lines so that I can use that with my OBiON App for my Mobile Device for outgoing calls, totally different than my home number setup on SP1. I have SP2 setup for SIP (for e911). The choice is yours, but I would think long term if I were in your position.

thanks for your responses...i think im leaning towards the 202 model...but i like the pricing of the previous models currently....Im a little puzzled in faxing between the all three models...since the 202 is advertised that it supports fax....are the other models able to support it as well? because in the FAQ says OBI supports faxes...does this mean all models do...or is it that the 202 is a bit more advanced in handling the faxes better with less problems than the previous models?

I have an old (maybe 10-12 years old) Panasonic plain paper fax model # KX-FHD331, nothing special as far as the setup/options go. It worked when I had POTS service, I ditched my POTS in favor of Google Voice and changed nothing. It just works. BTW, it's 9600 baud by default. Hope this helps.

To send from a conventional fax machine you need the Obi110. The Obi100 and the Obi202 do not have line inputs to plug the fax machine into. What was I thinking, guess I wasn't, that was the problem.
Everton:
What? I think you need to rethink what you just posted!
