[Asterisk-Users] Fax

[Troy Settle]

David,

Could you elaborate on what hardware you're using for this?

Also, speaking of faxes and *, I know that you can't fax over IAX(2),
but it seems that faxing over SIP (ala ATA-186) works fine?  Would it be
possible to set up the fax extension on one * box that can then use SIP
to get the call to a second * box that's sitting ~10ms away?
