[Asterisk-Users] Which asterisk-friendly cards are fax-capable?

[Craig Guy]

I have downloaded iaxmodem and gone through the readme but not yet installed 
it.  I currently use rxfax to receive in the vicinity of 1200 faxes per day 
and 5000 or more pages (faxes vary from single page to 30 pages) per E1, 
with a peak load of about 12 concurrent inbound faxes to rxfax.  Best I can 
tell my failure rate is about 0.8%.  I have been testing using Hylafax for 
faxout with an 8 port analog fax modem card and a couple PAP2NA's and this 
works well, but I am very much looking forward to checking out iaxmodem. 
Especially if using Hylafax will give me ECM.
