In generaly this is a bad idea (especially dialup internet). If both the gateways you use support T.38 origination/termination then faxing will not be a problem at all. However, in your case I assume you are only transporting the calls over LAN, and there is no WAN/Internet involved... which means you will probably achive a high success rate for both dialup and fax... I wouldn;t be surprised if you can;t max out the baud on your dialup internet connections though... i'd expect a slight reduction in speed (and errors, though error correction built into your modem would hopefully take care of this, at the cost of a a little speed due to re-transmissions) -- Matt http://www.mattgwatson.ca _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
