[Asterisk-Users] Virtual fax on the Asterisk box

[Dan]

Hi,

I have seen all of this on a Cisco 17xx router, including IVR and sending
faxes through e-mail, but it is far too expensive for me...
Theoretically is possible to have let's say an IAX or SIP software phone,
even on a separate computer as Asterisk who can handle faxes.

Not only.... you need aditional FXS interfaces to connect those modems and
you have to pay for them.
In this moment I have one port from a Cisco ATA186 for fax purposes, through
a PC fax-modem, but I want to free up the port for a normal phone, not for a
FAX device.

This is what I have in this moment, but I want more..;-)

Thank you and best regards,
Dan
