[Asterisk-Users] Fax

[David Carr]

The way we do it is our T1 comes in with unlimited DIDs. In our case we just
order more toll-free numbers, each with its own DNIS. Then we have four FXS
ports (Zap/g2) connected to hylafax modems. When the call comes in using
DNIS 1234, asterisk sets the callerID name to "1234", sends the call to
Zap/g2, and our hylafax config routes the fax to email
${callerIDname}@mycompany.com. Then in our mail table we forward each mail
alias to where we really want the fax to go.
