Why not HylaFax?
Unless I misunderstand, Hylafax is an entirely separate application requiring separate hardware. I was hoping, and maybe I'm way off base, to do it with just Asterisk. There seems to be lots of work around faxing but I see reports from one extreme to another. Some have said "Fax is not possible on digium hardware" but then some people seem to be doing it with a product called IAXmodem which is a software DSP for IAX. How weird is that. Dave
