Where is a how to on this and does it pass thru to a fax machine?  I've 
been fighting with getting faxing to work on my home asterisk machine 
and have given up.  But if you say it works well and reliably on large 
volume I'd be willing to try again on my home machine.

We get a quite low volume of faxes 10 or less per week. But they are how 
my wifes  family communicates and when our fax does work we start to 
loose contact with them, so she would argue that we should go back to 
plain old telephones.
