List, how can I put fax server functionality on Asterisk? * as a reliable fax server for 500-1000 fax/day (mostly incoming)? Fax server should be like HylaFax, i.e. stable, low maintenance and functionality like receiving fax as email with PDF attachment, sending faxes per WHFC. Faxing with spandsp using bri_stuff (BeroNet/Junghanns quadBRI ISDN cards) shortens some faxes, or faxes loose lines, or when sending faxes a bri channel stays open for days (seems to be a sync problem). Any experiences/hints/suggestions? Or how would I best use Asterisk and Hylafax? Would IAXmodem work reliable? Anyone here using this with BRI? Or what about using Asterisk+HylaFax+CAPI (e.g. AVM C4)? Is there another way of using Asterisk as a reliable faxserver with BRI?

Well, if fax over BRI works and Asterisk<->BRI works, then I'd assume that "Hylafax<->Iaxmodem<->Asterisk<->BRI" would work as well. I can say that "Hylafax<->Iaxmodem<->Asterisk<->POTS" works great. Haven't used BRI personally, though. Sorry.

To manage this large number of faxes, it's better to use Hylafax and not Asterisk. Obviously, all this IMHO DV
