Try a MultiTech FaxFinder, FF100 or FF110, integrates nicely with Asterisk.

I have had a $12.95/month number with them for a few years. I get less than 25 faxes per month and about half of them are junk faxes. I used the send feature a few times but a few months ago it stopped working with firefox/linux so I just went ahead and plugged my hp all-in-one into a phone line for sending. Anyway, I recently logged into the account and changed the credit card on file. Because the outgoing prepay balance was below $2 they attempted to charge the card $10. I kindly asked them if they could just credit my usage balance 60 cents to make it $2.10 since I have no intention of ever using them for sending again. The result of this is a few emails explaining what I already know about the $2 threshhold triggering a $10 charge. My messages to them have simply stated that if they won't credit me 60 cents I will cancel the service entirely. Anybody here offering good alternatives to efax/j2? Note that local DID is no longer much of a feature since nobody in US48 should be paying nore than 4c these days. Security is important. The simplest implementation I can think of is to only send notification email and let the subscriber pick up the file via https. I actually think that approach is best for SOHO voip-ers. I have seen call quality degrade while emails with large attachments are arriving. There are several other things I can suggest if anybody here is serious about getting into this market. I setup hylafax without problems over 4 years ago. I had no problem getting it so email the faxes as a pdf attachment. The only reason I did not use it for production is that even with my centrex contract it did not make sense to dedicate a line for a dozen faxes per month. I believe the market for this type of service improves as fax usage declines. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Biz mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Biz mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Biz mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
