Few observations:
1) Most PhonePower reviews seem good. Read the individual reviews and scrutinize the reputation of the reviewer (oldtimer has more street cred than someone who is first time poster, etc)

User reviews - PHONE POWER2) VoIP is not primarily set up for faxing. It's almost like wanting your dog to toast the waffles. Dogs can get the newspaper (what's that?) but cannot operate the toaster.
3) For all your specs, you may need multiple providers.
4) For faxing inbound and outbound, consider a service such as »

6) You mentioned Ooma. Yesterday the website Woot had refurbished Ooma Telo for about $ 145 including shipping. Fees would be about $ 3 or $ 4 a month. If you keep looking you could probably find this again.
7) I wonder if you realize that with most regular POTS phone companies, AND with most VoIP providers, pressing *67 does NOT block your outbound caller ID number when you are calling toll free numbers.
8) You could sign up with a VoIP provider to make outbound calls and not even transmit a standard outbound CID. For that matter, you don't even have to get a DID number from the company to begin with. One example: FlowRoute. Of course, if you don't transmit a standard outbound CID then other people may block YOUR calls.
