Good call, Lee. Unfortunately, we only have a single port Sangoma  
card in our asterisk server. In order to do what you suggest, I would  
have to buy a dual port card and a channel bank or T1 modem. Thats  
more $$$ than is warranted by our fax traffic.

Also, given reports of problems related to frame-slippage and other  
weirdness encountered when sending data/fax through Asterisk, I'm  
reluctant to invest that money. Have you tried this setup yourself?
