I am looking for an ATA that has had very reliable results when passing FAX over IP. I was thinking of testing the Cisco (not Linksys) ATA 186 I1, ATA 186 I2, ATA 188 I1. This is what I’m looking for:

FAX -> PTSN -> through Asterisk -> ATA -> Fax Machine.


(a) If you are not running a version of Asterisk that has working SIP jitter buffering (is there such a thing?), then abandon all hope now.

(b) We have no experience with the Cisco ATAs, but the Linksys (nee Sipura) SPA-210x is markedly better than the SPA-100x and SPA-200x, probably because they have better jitter buffering (it goes without saying we do not pass our fax traffic through Asterisk).

(c) T.38 is the way to go, G.711 a poor and distant second choice (again, Asterisk's T.38 pass-through is far from ready for prime time).
