Can anyone recommend software that will allow me to utilize my VoIP provider and send fax over IP? I use Asterisk now for my phone system. Thanks! Wiley E.

Basically, I want to send bulk faxes to a list of my clients. It is time consuming for a person to individually fax so a blast type solution seems best. Over IP is of course to save money... Thanks for the link, reading now... Any suggestions for the blast then? Wiley E. Siler Director of Information Technology Education 2020 4110 N. Scottsdale Rd.

Either analog modems or a PRI, and Hylafax for automation, no VOIP involved there. -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Wiley Siler Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2007 10:08 To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: RE: [asterisk-users] Fax Blast over IP?

Thanks all... Looks like I will have to let them know that FOIP is a no go and that we can automate on Asterisk though... Thanks! Wiley E.
