Ahh, but other than the fax in, power in and one to the phone socket, the CAT cable to the NBN distribution box, no?
Oh, I don't know, not much in it...Hard to get this speed with DSL:

Box > cable > filter/splitter > phone (There isn't a separate fax in)

How Does FAX Work in VoIP Environments?
FAX was designed for analog networks, and can not travel over a digital VoIP network. The reason for this is that FAX communication uses the analog signal in a different way to regular voice communication. When VoIP technologies digitize and compress analog voice communication it is optimized for voice and not FAX signaling. Subsequently, there are a number of things you need to take note of when you move to a VoIP Phone System.
If you want to continue using your old fax machine, and you want to connect it to your VoIP phone system, its best to use a VoIP Gateway and an ATA (Analog Telephony Adapter) that supports T38. T38 is a protocol designed to allow fax to “travel” over a VoIP network.
It is also possible to convert to computer based fax and choose a VoIP phone system that supports fax. 3CX Phone System for Windows includes a full featured fax server that is able to receive faxes and forward them in PDF format to e-mail.
Another way to deal with fax when you switch to a VoIP phone system is to connect the fax machine directly to the existing analog phone line and bypass your VoIP system.
Also: http://hylafax.sourceforge.net/docs/fax-over-voip.pdf
So the answer is = T.38 - http://www.3cx.com/pbx/t38/
What is T38 Fax?
T38 is a protocol that describes how to send a fax over a computer data network. It is needed because fax data can not be sent over a computer data network in the same way as voice communications. Read our How does FAX work in VoIP environments? article for more information. In essence, with T38 a fax is converted to an image, sent to the other T38 fax device and then converted back to an analog fax signal. Most VoIP Gateways and ATA’s now support T38 reliably.
T38 is described in RFC 3362, and defines how a device should communicate the fax data. In the diagram above both the gateway and the fax machine behind the gateway would have to be T38 capable. For the G3 fax machine on an analog line, this process will be transparent. The analog fax machine does not need to know T38.
3CX Phone System for Windows includes a full featured T38 fax server that allows faxes to be received from anywhere in the network. Faxes can be received as PDF and forwarded via email.

Too many fax there for me to follow, Chris. I've only sent 3 faxes in the last 20 years anyway
BTW, I did note where you said your eye stuff was okish - I guess it's not 100% but is improving then, eh?

Sorry, Chris, I'm giving up.
My fax is working without any special equipment.
Please visit Whingepool and ask there if it is possible or not to use an NBN connection for
Internet AND phone/fax(Panasonic KX-FC175) without copper.

Now I have to have more answers for my mate who uses a FAX quite often.
That's about all I could say, yes.

okee may not use the "new posts" feature to read the forum and then not see the post.
Ahh well. It was worth a try.... maybe. 
Windows 8.x
all over Win eX, well for me anyway.
I wasn't happy with the approach to programs and the simplistic (designed for newbies) Control Panel. Not only did some proggies not work but some hardware didn't either.
You can only roll back from 10 for 1 (one) month after the upgrade. I don't remember reading that anywhere when I upgraded.
As punishment, it took me 2 days to get this lappy back up to a decent operating speed again. It was b|oody painful watching what I typed slowly coming up, 1 character at a time and seconds between each some half to a minute after I typed it.
It seems to be OK now, but 10 can stay away for now.

It does sound painful.
I had read about the one month limitation but had forgotten.
It's not all that long to test the OS with a heap of programs.
Oh, and be aware also that *ANY* upgrade with an OEM pre-istallation, will make the Recovery partition unavailable.

Someone I know found that too. It's not legit to do that IMHO.
