[asterisk-users] Faxing success rate on PRI

[Marco]

Hi List,
I've been using PSTN-ATA + Asterisk + IAXModem + Hylafax since three years
on my lab test setup and I appreciate it. Moreover the global quantity of
fax handled by this setup is not very high.

I'll be involved in a more complex system for a customer and I would like
to ask to All of you if you have experiences and/or statistical results on
faxing success and failure rate.

The system I have to deploy will operate in the following context:

- It will be interfaced to an E1 PRI
- It will be able to send and receive faxes (by e-mail and/or virtual
printers)
- It will be able to send faxes from a normal fax machine.

The system will be placed on the same building, i.e. only private ethernet
trunks.

I'm thinking to this type of solution:
- Patton external unit for E1
- Asterisk 1.4 + IAXModem + Hylafax
- An external ATA for the fax machine
but I'm open to any other possible solution (I'm thinking to have a
demodulation on Patton and talk T38 with Asterisk 1.6).

The fax volume will be high because actually the customer has a ZFax
software system with 12 fax-modem installed (that will be replaced by the
system).

I know that this was already asked in this list in the past, but I would
like to know if someone has experience on this and could share their
opinion, tricks and/or statistical results on failure/success rate when
faxing. I think that this could be useful to other people have to realize
a system like that one depicted.


Thank you in advance.
