Good Asterisk fax solution?

[oskare100]

Hello,
I'm looking for a fax to email solution for asterisk, I've searched but I didn't find any with feedback that said that the solution was actually working but I've read at forums about my VoIP provider (digisip) that faxing with the works quite good.

I'm also looking for a email to fax solution, but as I understood it that it more complicated so I'll probably wait with that since receiving fax is the most important part.

Any links, advice would be appreciated!

maybe it is just me, but I like hardware solutions like multi tech's faxfinder, it is easy to setup and does everything you want, I am sure there are solutions for asterisk, and I love asterisk and opensource, but I guess I just dont want to be doing everything through one server, or system.. Let me know if that sounds dumb.

hylafax and spandsp are very good options

If all else fails, MultiTech makes a fax server.

If your willing to do some reading & experimenting - I cannot recommend Hylafax enough.

Been using it for 4 years on a Pentium 2 box (64MB RAM), with a Rocket Modem ISA board (8 modems on one board - yes - ISA!).

Total cost - $100 for the Rocket Modem board on E-Bay.

It receives incoming faxes on upto 8 lines - converts them to PDF's & then e-mails to them public folders on my Exchange server for each department.

Outgoing from the desktop? Either use WHFC or setup the e-mail to fax gateway (I haven't done this).

We receive 600 pages a month & send about 300 pages.

It's rock solid reliable - I have absolutly no problems with it.
