[asterisk-users] 'Traditional' Faxing

[Shawn Henderson]

Depending on how many faxes you have coming in a simple fxs/fxo card 
will do the trick .. either Sagnoma or Digium or any others you could 
also use any decent ATA.. Asterisk only needs to know its a fax and what 
dialed number it came on to route it to the correct fax machine. 
Asterisk would just act as a pass thru..
