Can anybody suggest how to setup company having 3 bri connections to local
telco.
As far as I understood iax is supper good for interconeting branch
offices. quadBRI is the best solution if you have more than 1 ISDN
channel. But every company still needs a fax. More or less hylafax is
suitable for this.
Any analog voice, or capi aproache to hylafax is also suitable.
1) If you use Zaptel interface quadBRI card, what to do with faxes ? You
can put cisco ATA-186(sip) after asterisk, and then an ordinary  modem....
but in this case you lose functionality, quality and so on.
2)Another aproche is to use mISDN + hfc_multiboard + chan_capi, and
capifaxrecv ... in that case you need to start a lot of threeds to listen
on each BRI interface for incomming faxes. Futher more mISDN is totaly
unstable with fritz, mayby with hfc it is stable?
3) app_fax_recv, but stil no integration with hylafax ( not sure ) hard to
compile... lots of limitations....

Any working and stable examples are wellcome.
