[asterisk-users] Fax with Asterisk + Hylafax

[Steve Totaro]

You could try to get it working but it may never be 100%.  If your needs 
are 100% then I suggest using a standard fax and get an analog line and 
do it the old fashioned way.  If you need Hylafax type features then buy 
a modem that is compatible with Hylafax and run it on a different box.

Just suggestions. 

Thanks,
Steve
