Well, if you were using stand-alone fax machines then that was part of your problem.<br />

Fax has been a long road in the VOIP arena and asterisk. <br />
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. <br />
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.<br />
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. <br />
<br />
Fax + Asterisk can work quite well. <br />
