<P>Dear all,
<P>I had Tom Rymes and several others suggest how I can implement sending fax using Asterisk. The idea is to have On-Demand-Fax.
<P>Unfortunately, I wrote down the wrong workflow: the real one is:
<P>
<P><FONT size=3>1. Person will call our phone number<BR>
2. He will be asked to press 1 for Office 1 map, 2 for Office 2 map and 3 for Office 3 map.<BR>
3. User presses 1. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=3>4. User is asked to enter his phone number.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=3>5. User enters his phone number and hangs up.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=3>6. Asterisk calls the number entered by user and sends a fax.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=3>Can it be done?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=3>Thanks,</FONT></P>

choose which map they want and then enter their fax number. You can <BR>
then call sendfax from extensions.conf with the relevant data to send <BR>
the fax. Hylafax would then send the fax out using its own dedicated <BR>
analog or t1/e1/whatever modem (ie: not through asterisk b/c that <BR>
seems to be unreliable at best).<BR>
