[asterisk-users] fax eater

[Alex Robar]

You could hack together some kind of solution for accepting the fax
digitally (turning it into a PDF or some other type of file) using SpanDSP
and app_rxfax, and then just have a script that runs every hour or so,
deleting the generated images. I've never done this, but you should be able
to receive the fax digitally without issue. From there, it's a simple
cleanup script.

Cheers,
Alex
