[asterisk-users] Re: Asterisk Faxing Support

[tim robinson]

aaaaha ok, I understand now....

1) I don't think that Asterisk has any support for meter pulse detection 
on analogue cards.

2) If you already have an ISDN line, why do you not spend the eur 20 on 
a BRI card and do the job properly?  The way you propose you are going 
from ISDN --> Analogue --> digital
If you get a BRI card you do not have anything analogue in the way to 
add echo etc.  You will be MUCH happier with the end result, I promise!

http://www.solwise.co.uk/isdn.htm is what you need - take a look on 
ebay, and you then need to use a bristuffed version of Asterisk.
