[Asterisk-Users] PRI & Fax Passthrough

[Callum McGillivray]

Haha - My director wants to do away with the analogue line that we have

sitting around just to handle a single fax machine....

Thanks for the info / experience though....

Has anyone else got any other experiences with this kind of stuff ?
