Scott, I assume that you want to eliminate the use of an analog line for receiving faxes? We recently did that since we were having trouble with T.38 and G7.11. The reliability just wasn't the greatest and we had to do something quick.
We took a very unorthodox approach and signed up for a cheap TrustFax service. They will send the received fax to an email address as a PDF. I wrote a small bash script that will look for new emails, download the PDF attachments, print the fax to our copier, and then archive the PDF's in a dir on our file server. >From everyone's perspective, it works the same as always. Our fax number is the same, the call comes into our PRI, then sipx redirects it to the external TrustFax number. I don't know if that would work with POTS lines. Sending faxes we use a Patton MATA device that connects directly to our Patton SN-4960 using T.38, and sends the fax as usual. We had trouble sending if it registered with sipx, but the direct connection works great. The nice feature about this method, is that I can have it auto-print the fax to multiple printers. It's a little ridiculously complicated for just faxes, but it works great for our needs. Matthew On Wed, Nov 12, 2008 at 11:53 AM, Scott Richesson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Tony, > > Thanks.
