<div dir="ltr">Just to clarify, pika's chan_pika is their asterisk channel driver for their hardware. The two fax applications, app_pikarxfax.so and app_pikatxfax.so are fax modules for asterisk to implement fax in your dialplan: <br>

exten => 5001,n,PIKARxFax(${FAXFILE})<br><br>you'd still need hardware to actually get the faxes to asterisk...<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Sep 23, 2008 at 9:32 AM, Erik Haider Forsen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:erikf@opera.com">erikf@opera.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
Thanks for your suggestion. The problem is that most of our users<br>
would not feel comfortable with using software fax solutions. So we<br>
will have to stick with the old fax machine.<br>
<br>
Our reception takes care of the fax machine, receiving and sending<br>
faxes. This one fax is shared by ~ 600 employees.<br>
