hi is it possible to build a fax server with asterisk? i would like to make a system that: - receives email, converts email and attachments as image and send it via fax - receives fax, converts fax as an image an send it attached in a email to a specific address obviusly the asterisk server is configured with a ISDN card on the phone network... thanks
For converting email to fax, you have asterfax (http://asterfax.sf.net) For fax2email, app_rxfax is well documented. Check http://scottstuff.net/blog/articles/2004/03/28/faxing-with-asterisk You can also use hylafax (with iaxmodem or chan_fax). It may give you finer control of incoming faxes. Julian.

I would recommend using separate servers for inbound and outbound faxing. In my experience outbound faxing is more tricky than inbound (Using spandsp with rxfax/txfax rather than iaxmodem) Craig ----- Original Message ----- From: "nik600" <nik600@gmail.com> To: "Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion" <asterisk-users@lists.digium.com> Sent: Thursday, March 23, 2006 7:05 PM Subject: [Asterisk-Users] asterisk as a fax server hi is it possible to build a fax server with asterisk? i would like to make a system that: - receives email, converts email and attachments as image and send it via fax - receives fax, converts fax as an image an send it attached in a email to a specific address obviusly the asterisk server is configured with a ISDN card on the phone network... thanks _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
