Fernando,

A complete solution of email->fax is not in the scope of AstLinux, IMHO, given 
our embedded flash based model.  Not to mention we don't include an email MTA 
(SMTP server).

If you get a TIFF file onto AstLinux then the SendFAX() application should 
finish the job.

Possibly a hybrid approach, on an external host using procmail (or such) to 
divert the email contents , then 'print' the email to a TIFF file (eg. 
ghostscript), then scp the TIFF file from the external host to your astlinux 
box and possibly also scp an outbound call-file to send it.  The dialplan 
context of the associated call-file could remove the SendFAX TIFF file. Just 
brainstorming, I have not tried this approach.
