One of my customers decided to allow me to make a test system for a fax server. So far I have searched the wiki and came up with Hylafax(standalone or with IAX) and astfax (integration with asterisk).
Scenario: Customer has windows machines (500+) and we want to try a fax server in the email-to-fax fax-to-email mode with minimum intrusion in the windows machines. astfax looks promising but it uses openoffice libraries to do conversion from .doc or other formats to tiff. The thing with this is that OO sometimes lacks the reliability to do a true conversion on MS Office formats like fonts or spacing or tabs. So it will look good on MS Word for example, but crap after OO conversion. I have no intention to start a war on this, but those who use MS Office and OO will know that true font/spacing/etc conversion is far from perfect, specially when mixing different MS Office version (95,2000,XP) AS with Hylafax, it seems that I need to install an IAX modem in every machine (arrrggghhhh) or define a printer driver. Any suggestion for this kind of setup?
