[Asterisk-Users] Fax->Email for Hosted PBX

[Alexander Lopez]

Best scenario does not route faxes over the IP network as a VoIP call.

You can either use spandsp as a fax on the Asterisk box, (has problems,
but the delveloper is behind solving them)

You can route the calls to a fax server located in the same colo via
tdm. (you can use HylaFax on Linix of any other solution.

I have used Fax over VoIP for about 2-3 years. Some machines can't
handle it. Others can.  Receiving has a higher success rate than
sending....

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Fax->Email for Hosted PBX

I'm proposing to install an Asterisk PBX at a collocation facility for a

remote customer.  Each of the customer locations will have an SPA-3000 
with the FXO port connecting a POTS circuit and the FXS port connecting 
a fax machine or red phone.

In addition to voice traffic, the customer has a high volume of incoming

and outgoing faxes.

Would it be possible, using g711 between the SPA-3000 and server, to 
have spandsp/rxfax receive a fax from the POTS circuit via the SPA-3000?

  From the locally attached fax machine?  (I realize that packet loss 
will have a adverse effect on fax transmissions.)

Would I be better-off attaching the fax machines to a Mediatrix 2102?

Any help is appreciated.
