Unreferenced date August 2008 Image PCI V.92 FaxModem Card Digon3.jpg thumb right A V.92 faxmodem card A faxmodem enables a computer to transmit and receive documents as fax es on a telephone line . A faxmodem is like a data modem but is designed to transmit and receive documents to and from a fax machine or another faxmodem. Some, but not all, fax modems do double duty as data modems. As with other modem s, fax modems can be internal or external. Internal fax modems are often called fax boards. In the early 1990s small business PCs commonly had a PC based faxmodem card and fax software typically WinFax Pro . Largely replaced by E mail , PC based faxing with a faxmodem declined at the turn of the century. Where faxing from a PC is required there are a number of Internet fax Internet based faxing alternatives. Where businesses still had one or more traditional fax machines churning out pages, they were usually outnumbered by PCs processing E mail. PC faxing Computer users may set up a PC faxmodem with card, telephone line access and software. A special printer driver may be included to allow treating the faxmodem as a printer. Fax integration is available in unified communications e.g. E mail, Voice Mail and Fax managed together , in a number of Business telephone system Hosted PBX systems Hosted PBX products where standard features allow users to send a fax by using the fax phone number as the address of a E mail message, and receive incoming faxes via E mail with the Fax content presented as a Portable Document Format PDF attachment. Medical systems continue to use this technology into the 21st century, but many home and business users dropped the use of fax modems in favor of high speed internet .

Unreferenced date December 2009 Orphan date December 2008 3D Fax was an early Microsoft Windows Windows program from InfoImaging Technologies . It allowed binary file s to be transmitted via fax . Basically, the software would encode the file into a printed image to be sent to the recipient s fax machine. The recipient would then Image scanner scan the transmitted image and use 3D Fax to decode it back to its original binary form. Its functionality was limited. Although being able to send a binary file via fax is a novel idea, it has three main problems The size of the binary file is limited to what is possible to encode on a letter sized piece of paper, so sending anything over 50 kb would require many sheets of paper to print, fax, and scan. The sending party requires an adequate printer and a fax machine or faxmodem, and the receiving party requires a scanner and fax although a faxmodem on both sides would eliminate the printer and scanner requirements . Both also need access to a phone line, to send their fax. Most binary files need 100 reliability on the transport. If the binary file is an executable , for example, it needs to be decoded perfectly by the receiving party, or the file simply won t work. This is usually impossible with normal fax transmissions, since they normally have noise and are not 100 copies of the originals. Adding a scan to the process only worsens matters. The advent of an almost ubiquitous Internet , along with email , made the limited usefulness of this software obsolete. DEFAULTSORT 3d Fax Category Fax software ... more details

Refimprove date February 2008 The term black fax refers to a prank fax transmission, consisting of one or more pages entirely filled with a uniform black tone. The sender s intention is typically to consume as much of the recipient s fax ink, toner or thermal paper, thus costing the recipient money and or denying the recipient the use of their machine this is similar to computer based denial of service attacks . This is made easier because the Fax Digital fax transmission protocols compress the solid black image very well, so a very short fax call can produce many pages. Black faxes have been used to harass large institutions or government departments, to retaliate against the senders of junk fax es, or merely as simple pranks. The basic principle of a black fax can be extended to form a black fax attack. In this case, one or more sheets are fed halfway through the sender s fax machine and taped end to end, forming an endless loop that cycles through the machine. Not only can solid black be used, but also images which will repeat endlessly on the receiver s machine until its toner runs out. The introduction of Fax server computer based facsimile systems combined with integrated document imaging solutions at major corporations now means that black faxes are unlikely to cause problems for larger corporations. On the other hand, the ability of computer modems to send faxes offers new avenues for abuse. A program could be used to generate hundreds of pages of highly compressed, pure black and send them very quickly to the target fax machine. Black faxes have been used by the group Anonymous group Anonymous as a protest against the Westboro Baptist Church . Black faxes are similar ...
