I have not read about anyone using iaxmodem and hylafax having any
issues. and its fairly easy to setup. Took me about 1 hour total to
get everything installed and configured.
Where is a how to on this and does it pass thru to a fax machine?
I've been fighting with getting faxing to work on my home asterisk
machine and have given up. But if you say it works well and reliably
on large volume I'd be willing to try again on my home machine.
We get a quite low volume of faxes 10 or less per week. But they are
how my wifes family communicates and when our fax does work we start
to loose contact with them, so she would argue that we should go back
to plain old telephones.
Fax reception does work reliably IF (big IF) you are faxing using a
transport media that is conducive to faxing. The internet is not a
transport method that will result in 100% reliable connectivity. If
you're on a reasonably good internet connection with low-latency and
jitter between you and your voip service AND you are using ulaw, you
should get acceptable results for residential purposes. I've connected
my Brother MFC to a Digium TDM400 card and successfully sent and
received faxes over the internet in the past. I've also had my share of
failures with the same connection when a large file was being
downloaded, even with traffic shaping enabled.
People need to be VERY clear about this when they say they are faxing
successfully through Asterisk. Lee has all sorts of ammunition why you
shouldn't even try it over IP, at least not in a business setting.
