Yes, FaxTalk supports sending and receiving faxes using the V.34 33600 bps “Super G3” fax speeds.

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.

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.

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.
