 No, not really.  I stand by it.  Useless and *should* be dead.  It's dead 
and people just don't know it.    There is no adequate replacement for fax. 
 E-mail doesn't do it   
 Yes, it does.    
  Well, if you were using stand-alone fax machines then that was part of 
your problem.

 That was actually the only part of my post that was in jest.

Fax has been a long road in the VOIP arena and asterisk. 
For T.30 & T.38 to ATA gateways you need the right mix of equipment at both 
ends. Vendors that support T.38 or PRI's with good T.38 supported hardware 
gateways work best. 
On the fax gateway side Steve, and spandsp are god sent. Fax works well 
when you get your karma in alignment you must set it up correctly.
Our systems have processed over 500,000+ faxes this year with very few fax 
machine compatibility issues. From a technology standpoint  I too look 
forward to the day where we can get rid of faxes, but from a business 
perspective I am happy to process faxing for our paying customers. 

Fax + Asterisk can work quite well.
