<p class="MsoNormal">Hi, <br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone have an up to date guide for setting up fax 2
email with asterisk?<br></p></div></div></blockquote><div><br>You can buy this shrink-wrapped from Cisco if you're willing to pay what they're asking. There are probably other vendors who sell that too. <br><br>If you insist on doing this yourself, and using asterisk, start by moving to 1.6. The fax support is night and day better in 1.6 than 1.4, using native asterisk app_fax (which depends on SpanDSP from Lee Howard).<br>
<br>If you want to go SIP as part of the deployment, I recommend either:<br>1) terminate PSTN at your premise, and only use SIP internally inside your PSTN gateway<br>2) if you're going to go with a SIP provider, tunnel them on a dedicated circuit so you're not fighting bandwidth limit in addition to the various problems you'll inevitably face with their implementation of fax over voip.<br>
<br>Once you price #2 you'll probably discover that #1 is cheaper, and I've already said it's more likely to be reliable when you can control as much of the voip as possible.<br></div></div>
