[Asterisk-Users] asterisk and fax over ip - concept

[Dawid Mielnik]

That is a nice thought and takes care of problem with fax transmission over
IP. However not applicable in my case though. Most 'fax users' will not have
Asterisk on site but some other fxs gateways instead. Also from what I've
read RxFax tends to cause problems.

Best regards,

Would the following be a doable solution:

1. An Asterisk-box on site with FXS
2. Plug Fax into FXS
3. User uses facsimile machine to call a number - Asterisk answers
4. Stores called number into variable ${FAXDESTINATION}
5. Use RcfFax of * to store fax within asterisk
6. mail stored fax together with ${FAXDESTINATION} off to central office
with outgoing PSTN?

No PSTN line needed, user does not need to change his/her way of doing
things.

If you want to provide feedback with regards of fax success, prefix the
phonenumber with a 3 letter account number specifying the sender to be
used for later eMail notification.

Just a thought.
