I have a specific business problem that I'm hoping someone has ideas and/or has already worked out a solution.
My application needs to be able to automatically create and issue faxes to many different fax machines. The volume is going to be very high. And it is only about sending faxes and not receiving them.
My application is hosted by an ASP but the Linux (Fedora 2) server is mine (dedicated). So the option of having PSTN lines to do faxes is not an option since I don't own nor can put anything in the data center. I found a SIP/VOIP provider that says they do faxing (and I can connect to them using my own device (meaning asterisk or something else if necessary)). Their requirement for faxing to work on their end is to make sure i send them via their voip service using G.711 codec.
So I've done alot of research on faxing and asterisk and hylafax but I'm still at a loss. For starters, what is the architecture that I need?
my application --> QUESTION MARK??? ----> VOIP Provider ---> PSTN ---> Fax Machine.
So first question, what should QUESTION MARK be? Is it just Asterisk or a combination of Asterisk and something like hylafax (fax manager). And depending on that answer, what is the configuration that has to be made on it. Even reference to material that explains the configuration would be very helpful to me at this time.
Thanks in advance for the help,
J.......
