[Asterisk-biz] alternative to efax needed

This looks much better. They should offer more than 60 pages of fax 
storage even if that means buying an upgrade. I sold some acreage in 
July and the incoming fax traffic for a few days was well over that 
amount. My outbound was over 100 pages. If I had to go away for 2 or 3 
days during that time, the storage allowance would have been exceeded. 
At least they make it clear that up to 3 simultaneous faxes can be 
received. The others are usually too vague about such things.
