hylafax is excellent. i used it myself. i was just looking to try and start something "simpler". also, hylafax uses the concept of modems, so even if you're doing an all-software solution, you'll still need iaxmodem or t38modem. in asterisk 1.6, the SendFAX and ReceiveFAX applications do all of that work for you and all you need is a way to streamline getting faxes into and out of asterisk. in my case, with the AsteriskFAXGateway, it's e-mail. but if you look at the script, it's just a bash script and rather than having incoming faxes be e-mailed, just have them go to a printer. here is the current script: http://messinet.com/viewvc/asterisk-fax-gw/trunk/fax-gw?view=markup on a side note, i'dlove some folks who are willing to test and help me work out scenarios that i've not thought of. there has been interest on digium's side of getting this to be part of the default tarball, but i'd like to get some testing and feedback (and devel help) before i do that. -a -- Anthony - http://messinet.com - http://messinet.com/~amessina/gallery 8F89 5E72 8DF0 BCF0 10BE 9967 92DC 35DC B001 4A4E
