Hi all, I want to get the following functionality: define one extension as a virtual fax machine. Every fax redirected to that extension to be converted in a picture file (bmp/jpg/gif or something else) and then attached to an email and send to an e-mail address. Are you aware of a linux based application who does something like this and can be installed on the same computer as Asterisk? Another possibility is a Windows based software SIP fax which can be registered with Asterisk. Thanks, Dan
I repost this message as it does not hit the list first time.

I dont know if it's really elegant enough, but if you wanted to set up a modem and mgetty, it should do most of that. It's not so elegant and it will tie up a port, but it might be the quickest option.

Hylafax Dan. It isn't that elegant though as you'll need to wire an analogue port to each fax/modem. AFAIK there isn't a virtual fax/modem provided by * that another programme can use.
