[asterisk-users] Bottom line on fax reception

[shadowym]

So what is the bottom line?  Does it work or not.  I've heard stories it
works, it doesn't work, it kinda sorta works when it's not raining out side.
Everything under the rainbow.

What's the bottom line with recent updates on 1.2.x?  Is it production ready
for fax?  By production ready I mean that it just works all the time and
doesn't need any babysitting.  Do I have to worry about dropped lines,
sometimes not detecting incoming fax tone....yada yada.  

I know I don't have to use fax on Asterisk but I really want to for various
reasons.  Mostly incoming but outgoing is a nice to have.  Should I use an
addon package and if so which one?  Any help would be appreciated.
