I agree with Karl, We have working an Digium TDM card and grand stream ata. On ata device we connect an old fax machine. All work fine, you can send or receive fax form old fax machine using an zaptel device. Regards, Luis Morales On Thu, Sep 4, 2008 at 2:41 PM, Karl Fife [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I think I have this straight, but I wanted to bounce it off anyone who might be more knowledgeable. We are installing an Asterisk server at a location that only has PRI. Inbound fax comes in on the PRI with its own DID. Currently, the PBX handling it just has a PRI port and sends calls for that

I would suggest that you go with a dual port T1 card and a channel bank. you will have much greater fleibality as well as more stable connection. On 8/29/08, Gordon Henderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Fri, 29 Aug 2008, Doug Lytle wrote: James Sneeringer wrote: We are installing an Asterisk
