[Asterisk-Users] How to send Fax from Asterisk

[Tom Rymes]

If you install Hylafax, I'm sure that you could have the person  
choose which map they want and then enter their fax number. You can  
then call sendfax from extensions.conf with the relevant data to send  
the fax. Hylafax would then send the fax out using its own dedicated  
analog or t1/e1/whatever modem (ie: not through asterisk b/c that  
seems to be unreliable at best).
