Hi all ! Let's say you have about 6 small different companies sharing the same E1 / Asterisk server, and every company needs its own fax number. Since they don't really need fax machines, what would be the most cost-effective way to handle this (keeping fax-privacy at its best) ? Is there a way to configure Hylafax or sth & one modem behind an ATA-186 to email faxes to different adresses depending on the called number ? Or do we have to buy 3 Cisco ATA-186 and six fax-machines ? Thanks.

My thought is that you would use a separate HylaFax server with six modems in it, and add two Digium FXS cards to the * server. Configure * to send the faxes out the correct FXS port for each company, and configure hylafax to queue the faxes to a different folder for each line. User interface and notification are left as an exercise to the reader, as is the actual hylafax configuration :) The major downside to the above is all the POTS lines you have to run, and the waste of ports. An alternative would be to use only one or two POTS, and have * set the CallerID for each company. Then, have Hylafax queue the incoming faxes based on CallerID. The disadvantage to this is, of course, that you lose any real CallerID information. --Ernest

One is used by * as outgoing interface for fax traffic, the other as incomming device for capi4hylafax. Then configure hylafax to dispose of the faxes depending on the incomming msn. The hylafax stuff is pretty straight, but I don't know if the * part is doable as I quite a newbie there :-) <couic> -- R?mi
>Is there a way to configure Hylafax or sth & one modem behind an ATA-186 >to email faxes to different adresses depending on the called number ?We are currently working with a couple of Asterisk sites to support the automatic routing of received faxes. They are using DID on T1/E1 and configuring Asterisk to pass the DID information to our software which receives the fax and delivers it by email. Our software can either run on the same box as * or a separate system. We presume something similar could be done with * and analog DID trunks (or ISDN BRI) but have not yet tried it out. If anyone is interested in learning more about any of the above please contact me off-list. George Pajari Faximum Software
Hi I have a second line that we use for a fax server Since we are luck to get 2 faxes a week I want to use this line as a dial out line for * But still need to be able to send and receive faxes on it Has anyone got any ideas how I could accomplish this ?? Regards Mick
I have used this device with good results: http://faxswitch.com/stick_fax_phone_modem.html
Hi All, My asterisk system is running well but I can't send or receive faxes. I have an analogue fax plugged into a TDM400 connected to my ISDN 2e via an Eicon Diva. I am using G711.U - do I stand a chance of faxing or should I be doing it differently? Simon -- Simon Faulkner - Dedicated Programmes 01538 303 900 - 07771 845 326 http://dpnet.co.uk

I am using Underwood's fax system for fax on demand and it's very cool. I am planning to do the following and I would like to know if it's possible before putting my hands on it. For a specific application, I want to dialout thousands of numbers searching for fax machines. If somebody takes the call(voice), I would flag that number as bad in the DB. If it's a voice only answer machine, I would flag that number also as bad. But if it's a fax or an answer machine with fax, I would flag that number as valid fax number for future use. Is that possible? Thanks a lot, Isamar Maia

I copied the extension line from the web, which is in TWO lines combined with a "\" at the end of the first line. That does not work in Asterisk, .... it must be on one line. That was the only really difficulty I had. Two things I want to extend: 1. to get the caller name somehow. At the moment I get only the Caller-ID- number. Maybe it is possible from the fax header or via own database. 2. to allow EACH extension to get a fax and use the voicemail.conf email address as the receiver of the fax bye Ronald
is any problem with faxing trought: PSTN FAX => PRI => ASTERISK => SIP/G711 => SIP ADAPTER (like Linksys PAP2 etc.) -- turby@seznam.cz
