I will be using Asterisk to connect remote offices to PSTN - over IP (SIP). These offices will use fxs gateways such as madiatrix and audiocodes to send VoIP traffic to Asterisk. Asterisk will in turn push their traffic to PSTN. The other way round will also work ie. Asterisk will forwards traffic from PSTN to those gateways (offices).
The problem that I have though is that most companies send and recive faxes - and so will these. I dont want these offices to bypass faxes directly to PSTN but would somehow like to workaround fax over ip and Asterisk. What came to my mind was to add an fxo gateway (connected to PSTN) beside Asterisk to break out faxes to PSTN. Such a fxo gateway could communicate with the fxs gateways at customer premises and could reliably transmit faxes using t.38. The way I would imagine it is as such. When Asterisk would see a 'call' coming from a specified number (assigned to a sip port of an fxs gateway) instead of bridging the call directly to PSTN over a zap interface the 'call' coule be forwarded to the fxo gateway (over sip) that could reliably handle the 'call' (fax transmission). Would the t.38 transmission be properly handled by the t.38 supporting end points whith mediastrem passing through Asterisk ? (dont have much experience with t.38) Has anyone ever tried anything similar / different / wierder to try and deal with fax over ip and Asterisk ? Any suggestions and comments are welcome.
