We have done this using a Linksys PAP2 and it worked fine for weeks and
now it does not.
Here is what we have
DID---Asterisk----PAP2----FAX
We changed nothing on our Asterisk Server Nothing in the PAP2 and
nothing on the Fax but it just stopped working, incoming and outgoing.
Any ideas as to what could be going wrong?
Thanks
