I'd say that would depend on the configuration you are considering. We
have a number of fax machines running off of sipura spa-2000's that
connect to a remote asterisk server and terminate to the pstn via voip
as well.
I'd say it's about 90% reliable at this point. However, we've
noticed
quite a bit of variability around the quality of the connection and
underlying provider you are using for termination - so your results will
vary.
It also seems a couple of other tricks help:
(1)put an ADSL filter at the fax machine end, this seems to help filter
out noise from the signal and slow down the analog modem (not sure if
this is an old maid's tale or not, but seems to help).
(2)if you are using the sipura as your ATA, disable all of the fax
detection. Just make sure you are only allowing ULAW as your codec.
Other than that it's pretty straightforward. If you are looking to do
something to send receive to files, etc. we haven't had any luck getting
something along those lines to work w/pure voip.
