Welcome to Smuggle Me

I ran across an article that talked about FoIP which is like VoIP, but send faxes across the internet. This started me thinking to what a business could do connect with other businesses. Many businesses like the healthcare field use faxes like crazy. By implementing a fax server, a business in the healthcare industry are able to save $1000’s of dollars in printing costs.

It’s even cooler if you are able to implement this fax processing over the internet. I’m going to have to do this at my work since our building won’t have an analog phone line available. Luckily, we’re planning on having Cisco VoIP phones and I hear they have an adapter to handle faxes over the internet.

I am interested to see how secure this is. I’d like to run a trace on the line when the fax is being sent to see how secure it is. Security might be the biggest problem with sending faxes across the internet.
