No, the Asterisk Appliance 50 has no onboard FAX support; it will allow audio FAX passthrough and T.38 FAX passthrough, but that's all. It has very limited onboard storage in any case, and there's not really a practical way to easily move TIFF/PDF files on and off of it, so it wouldn't make a very good device to provide FAX termination and origination without some work on the web interface. -- Kevin P.
