[Asterisk-Users] Recommend Fax Hardware for T1 PRI

2006-01-11 Thread John Crew
I have posted this to the Asterisk Forums, but got no response yet. Sorry if you are reading this for the second time. What fax hardware do I need for a T1? Ideally, I will switch my T1 to a digital PRI (not CAS I'm told, which is not as good) coming into the building. My CLEC said I can do this

Any cheaper, equally reliable way to do this? Looks like a base Rhino channel bank with a 4 port FXS card will run me about $900. Begin Original Message From: Jerry Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wed, 11 Jan 2006 12:46:35 -0600 To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial

What about fax machines working over a PRI T1 line? Run FXS ports to each fax machine and the TDM card will convert the digital T1 to analog for faxing? I have no POTS lines, just a T1 (PRI soon if I find out I can use asterisk for regular POTS-type faxing). Begin Original Message

there is no need to connect to the PSTN just for fax. YMMV but I bet it is fine. How many fax lines do you need? W -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Crew Sent: Wednesday, January 11, 2006 3:43 PM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject

Sorry, let me clarify. I have more information from the owner now. Only an ATT Classic Mail voicemail system broke. The ATT Merlin 820D key system is still working fine. So, temporarily I have voicemail service from my carrier. In the meantime, I want to look at the cost of switching out my
