If you are sending the fax out your PRI line then your PAP2T with AstLinux should work just fine, so disregard my earlier response about T.38 and VoIP providers. Use the G.711 codec, echo suppression and echo canceler off.

As always, I needed to be clearer in my description. Our only trunking is ISDN PRI. We are only using SIP/IAX internally. So, would a PAP2T (various of which I currently use for voice) work well as the bridge between our internal analogue fax and our internal Astlinux box, sending and receiving faxes externally via ISDN?

Thanks

The answer is "it depends." I have had success with a fax machine connected to a linksys PAP2T ATA and routing through vitelity as the SIP trunk provider (with Astlinux in-between). I have had complete failure with an older Linksys/Sipura SPA-2002 and the same SIP trunk.

I have both a PAP2T and SPA-2002 connected to my system and the audio quality is noticeably better on the PAP2T. In particular there is a lot of background hiss from the SPA-2002 that is not present on the PAP2T. That may also suggest that the dynamic range of the SPA-2002 is not as strong as the PAP2T. Both the background hiss and a compressed dynamic range would explain why analog fax does not work well.

In addition to good A to D conversion, which the PAP2T seems to handle well, you then have to deal with the characteristics of SIP/ VoIP. You may have to fiddle with settings like jitter buffer and echo cancelling and you want a high quality trunk provider.

Good luck.

Slightly OT...

With an uncustomized 0.7.2 (1.4) on a net5501 with a berofix PRI, what is the easiest way to attach an analogue fax which currently uses one DDI on
the UK PRI? Will an ATA work?

Thanks

Tom
