Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Fax Service
I know this isn't an * question, but...
Does anyone know of a Fax over IP Provider?
Client looking to dump 3 regular fax lines, and bring broadcast faxes
in house (around 700 per day) in house. Their broadcast fax service
is currently outsourced.
Not only have got two separate (but related) issues confused here, but
your requirements appear to be contradictory.
On the one hand you say you want a "Fax over IP Provider" and on the
other hand you want to "bring broadcast faxes in house".
Which is it?
If you want to use a FoIP provider, there are a number that will handle
T.37 (essentially email-to-fax) but they typically charge an
unreasonable premium for their services. I'm not sure if there are any
T.38 providers that work domestically (i.e. US/Can) since the TDM rates
are already so low. Most T.38 FoIP providers work overseas where one can
still make money doing toll-bypass. If any one else on the list has more
current information on T.38 service providers, please let us (me) know.
On the other hand, if you want to put in a server, a bunch of phone
lines, and go to town broadcasting faxes then that's pretty
straightforward. Get a Linux server, install HylaFax (if you're brave),
or Faximum (if you want commercial support) and start sending faxes.
If you need more assistance with the latter approach, contact me offline.
P.S. using the "one page/minute" rule-of-thumb, if your broadcast
contains a single page you can get it out on a single line in less than
12 hours. Less than six on two. Less than four on three. etc.
