Really? Thats actually great news for me, as my faxes will only be 1 page or possibly 2 if the company does an auto-cover letter
Also.i've been doing more research here on the forum and it looks like a lot of people are making GV and OBi work with their fax machine by just needing to change your fax machine to the slowest BAUD like 9200 or better yet the 7200 rate.
Did you change your Baud rates when working with the fax? I wonder if you can get over your 5 page limit if you drop it to 7200?
With callcentric I connect at max speed everytime.
I did try lowering the baud rate with GV, I just found it to be slow and unreliable. the slower the transmission speed the more time that it can error out. and the way I look at it. its my business and I needed reliable and for $2.95 its a small price to pay. I know that $2.95 a month is well worth it as opposed to the time it takes to resend or miss important faxes.
If it was just a for for occasional home use I may have stayed with GV, But with my business I just can not afford to have issues.

Now why exactly does callcentric work while GV has issues?
Arent they the exact same thing?

That I do not know. maybe GV just does not have the bugs worked out yet. callcentric has been doing this a bit longer that GV. GV also states to do not support faxing.
callecntric also supports T.38 fas standards GV does not
I'm not going to try to force you to use callcentric. It seems your set on GV, remember that's free till the end of 2012. Who knows what it may cost after that. If you can accept the issues with faxing with GV like needing to drop your baud rate down to the speeds used 30 years ago to save $3 buck that up to you.
I use faxes for my business and $3 bucks to be reliable is worth it to me.

I gotcha, I'm in electrical engineer by trade so it's my nature to try and figure out why things dont work while similar products do work and how you would go about fixing it. ;D
Integraoligist:
Another question... when you setup the OBi, are you able to move it to any location without having to set it up again? i.e. set it up at home, use it for a while, then move it to the business... is there no other setup required?
