We have at least 3 customers with Cisco ATA186's plugged into a fax machine. They can send and receive faxes perfectly. The config in Asterisk is no different than any other ATA186. G711Ulaw is the codec we use.
Supposedly the Sipura SP-2000 we're now using can do faxes as well. Haven't tested it yet. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Underwood" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, July 29, 2004 10:44 AM Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] faxing > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > >What are your experiences with faxing through Asterisk to the PSTN? > > > >We are using g.711u as a codec, and are originating/terminating with Broadvox as > >well as through our own PSTN gateways. > > > >We have had some luck with incoming faxes coming into our network from Broadvox > >DIDs.
