There is a current thread on asterisk-users "Fax Blast over IP?" that
may be of interest.
Quote :-
"Fax over G711u works.. but it's touchy... when our customers ask us if
we support it we say yes and no.. and then explain that they can use
it.. and fax away all they want, but if they have issues we don't
support it. "

The conclusion seemed to be that it will generally work fax m/c --> ATA
--> Asterisk --> PSTN but only if you use the G711u codec. You need a
good network path (LAN with no congestion).
Lifetime Guarantee ;- When it breaks, it's end-of-life.

If one does decide to go with an ATA, does anyone have any suggestions
about which ATA works best with faxing?

I think the general consensus at last month's meeting was that the
DSP's in ATA's tend not to be of the highest quality, and while fine
for voice, don't do the best job of digitizing fax signals.
