I tested Attrafax this afternoon and was very pleased to see that it
worked first time right out of the box.  I tested the gateway function
with the Asterisk source in the tarbal, Zaptel 1.4.10.1 and a Digium
TE405P ver2 4-port T1 card.  I really like the console output while
processing faxes.  Very impressive.

Would anyone mind sharing any performance statistics based on real
word usage or even high volume lab testing?  I'm wondering how many
concurrent T38 to PRI faxes could be handled with high end server
hardware.  Where are the bottlenecks for the software stack, RAM, PCI
Bus, Proc Speed, Disc I/O?  Would there be a problem running 3 to 4
PRI's full of T38 to SIP Faxes on one server?  Could the Attrafax
software handle that volume?

Thanks in advanced for any feedback.
