Well, I can redirect a DID to it, but I have no fax traffic going to  
that DID, and I am still reluctant to install "developer-grade" code  
on my production asterisk server.

I'm sure it would be OK, and I bet it would work great, but frankly I  
would rather wait for the code to develop further and give some  
others a chance to figure it out at first. I'm not a big fan of  
running my production servers on the bleeding edge, and I don't have  
a spare PRI to use for testing on a non-production basis. (got a  
spare $400 per month or so?)
