[asterisk-users] 'Traditional' Faxing

[Gopal krishnan]

Hi,

 For that you need to purchase sangoma FXS card and connect your fax
machine in the fxs card. so that the fax machine will seems as an
extension for asterisk. whatever fax comes in it we can write a rule
where a fax nmber will reach the extension connected fax machine.
