[Asterisk-Users] Recommend Fax Hardware for T1 PRI

[John Crew]

I have posted this to the Asterisk Forums, but
got no response yet.  Sorry if you are reading
this for the second time.

What fax hardware do I need for a T1? Ideally, I
will switch my T1 to a digital PRI (not CAS I'm
told, which is not as good) coming into the
building. My CLEC said I can do this switch no
problem. I have an analog T1 coming in now.

>From the Asterisk box, I will connect IP phones,
but I still need 2 analog ports for fax machines.
I don't want to do any VOIP fax like T.38 or
anything. I just want to use a standard fax
machine so I can send outbound faxes reliably and
so I don't confuse my users and more than they
will be with a swtich from analog old AT&T Merlin
system to IP PBX.

I assume I need a TDM400P (TDM20B flavor for 2
analog stations), but I am not sure. Down the
line I may buy something like FaxFinder or try to
figure out Hylafax or some other solution if this
meets our needs, but I like the flexibility of
outbound faxing of a paper document. You just
can't send a paper document as easily with all
electronic faxing.

Thanks in advance!
