*99 helps with faxes going out on a Vonage line.
Had some trouble getting my fax modem to connect to a fax machine for longer for 30 seconds at a time. I found the solution in this message, which is to prefix your dialing with *99-<fax number>.
There is some speculation that this temporarily bumps your Vonage usage/bandwidth quality setting to the highest level (mine is set to the middle quality settings of 50kps; running via a RTP300 phone adaptor), I'm not entirely sure what it does but it anecdotally worked in my case. :D
Hopefully this tip will prove helpful to other Vonage and VoIP subscribers.
