[asterisk-biz] New faxing protocol. Good/Bad ?

[Dovid Bender]

Hi List,
I was thinking the other day that even with T.38 there are still some issues with faxing. I was thinking of a protocol that instead of just sending down the fax tones an ATA or "VOIP fax machine" would get the entire fax convert it into some sort of image and pass it down the line to the receiving end. I got the idea from RFC2833. Yes I know that fax machines send bit by bit and get a conformation on it but maybe this would work a bit better. Send the entire "image" over and then get a response when it is done. This way if there is issues along the way the packets can be re-sent with out any issue.
