<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I manage the IT for a firm of around
200 users here in the uk - Successfully rolled out desktop faxing using
Hylafax, although its only really used for reception and auto emailing/printing
of faxes, Lawyers hate sending unsigned faxes (and hate storing their signatures
even more)!! Unfortunately we have just completed a purchasing cycle for
our phone system (Mitel) but the ability to send and receive faxes via
Voip would have been a huge bonus, esp. considering we have three remote
offices.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Thumbs up for the software psudo-modem
idea! ALso - has anyone thought that this could be used easily to promote
pretty much ANY commercial fax server software, and promote asterisk in
the process? I have not looked at Tobit or Rightfax recently - maybe
they already have this functionality in them?</font>
