[Asterisk-Users] Digium cards, so disappointing !

[Anton Krall]

Im my case, faxes are coming in thru an E1 (using unicall) and into
iaxmodem/hylafax.. So it should pretty much work.. Except the te110p is
missing frames so faxes are getting desynced.

|I believe the TDM2400 has the capability of doing on-card 
|fxo->fxs data flows (without hitting the pci bus), but that 
|function has not yet been implemented. Its basically 
|"required" to support faxes in an analog environment. When it 
|is implemented, that card should work. The TDM400 card will 
|not work in 99% of the deployments.
|
|Faxing via T1 cards is known to work in a fairly large number 
|of deployments, but its likely to be highly dependent on 
|exactly where the fax machine is located relative to *. Eg, 
|incoming pstn fax via a T1 that is expected to be switched to 
|a sip ata adapter has "lots" of technical and specific 
|infrastructure dependencies that have to be addressed by the 
|implementor / engineer. The plug-n-play approach will have a 
|very high failure rate.
