<div dir="ltr">Forgot to mention (I think) that though the chan_pika driver is for pika hardware, the two fax apps for asterisk work with 3rd party hardware as well, so you don't actually need the pika cards (that's why it's nice and easy)<br>

<div dir="ltr">Just to clarify, pika's chan_pika is their asterisk channel driver for their hardware. The two fax applications, app_pikarxfax.so and app_pikatxfax.so are fax modules for asterisk to implement fax in your dialplan: <br>

exten => 5001,n,PIKARxFax(${FAXFILE})<br><br>you'd still need hardware to actually get the faxes to asterisk...<div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Sep 23, 2008 at 9:32 AM, Erik Haider Forsen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:erikf@opera.com" target="_blank">erikf@opera.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
Thanks for your suggestion. The problem is that most of our users<br>
would not feel comfortable with using software fax solutions. So we<br>
will have to stick with the old fax machine.<br>
<br>
Our reception takes care of the fax machine, receiving and sending<br>
faxes. This one fax is shared by ~ 600 employees.<br>
