[asterisk-users] Asterisk and Fax

[Andrew Joakimsen]

No. Asterisk does not have fax support and there are no plans to add it.

You can however send the faxes as voice calls, however there is no
assurance as to its reliability. Maybe most will work but some will
without a doubt be predestine to fail.
