I'm not sure what you mean by saying your telco providers aren't "well connected enough" to port your numbers from other carriers. LNP works through a 3rd party database (eg, Neustar) and doesn't require any degree of connectivity on your providers part, other than being able to "understand" when it receives a call to a ported number. That's all standardized and legally mandated, though, so it shouldn't be a problem.

I haven't really worked with voice in 6 years, but all your voice and fax calls are likely being converted into VOIP on the backend anyway. TDM switches are going away everywhere except the end office. If you are trying to do faxing over a simple Internet connection, then you might run into trouble, but if you have SIP trunking with a service provider, they should be able to support it. That may be out of the budget, though, no idea.

Why? I'm not saying it isn't, but I am curious. LNP translation usually happens towards the origin of the call, right? If you have the correct LRN and keep the original dialed number intact, I don't get why it would need anything more from the receiving party network, but obviously I am missing something.
