I've never seen and testimonials from people successfully using this with faxes.

I would be concerned about poor call quality resulting in being unable to send or receive faxes - I just don't know how tolerant fax communications are to poor lines. Any thoughts and opinions?
You are converting an analog fax signal to a low rate digital signal, and back to analog at the exit point on the other end - it might work, might work more slowly at times due to error correction,or might not work at all at times.

It would suck for your faxes to transmit only sometimes; fax is bad enough as is, why make it worse?

I'd check out an online fax service in lieu of a solution like this.
