ISDN is a circuit-switched telephone network system, it's NOT the same
as fiber....doesn't work the same nor use the same protocols. I've
talked to engineers at AT&T and Verizon, trying to find a way around the
problem, and there isn't one. So, what I do is scan anything that has to
be FAXed and file attach it. Actually, it's better because the quality
of the image rec'd is, of course, so much better than a FAX.
