Hi,

 

We do!!!! :-)

We use iaxmodem+hylafax combo on TE406P card.

Around 4K of faxes were received without any problems (some faxes are over 80
pages long!)

 

It is working really well!

No. Nobody ever uses this stuff. I just write it to waste my spare time.

Have Faxdispatch running well with Hylafax?

Background:
I have been tasked with moving from a Norstar Meridian system to an
Asterisk system.  My budget is flexible as long as I can show that what
I am doing is worthwhile.  My current setup is a T1 (non-PRI) and 4
copper POTS lines in going to about 22 phones and 1 fax (there is
another dedicated POTS line to a fax but that does not go through the
phone system).

I will be getting a Dell 2850 or 2950 (Dual Xeon 3.0 Ghz, plenty of HD
and RAM).  I think I have settled on Polycom IP601 phones and probably a
cisco PoE switch to feed them.

But in order to finish the proposal I need a few more pieces of
information...

I want to get a dual T-1 card (with hardware EC) so I have some room for
expansion if I need a second T-1.  If the digium rep is to be believed,
they will have one by mid-July, but then again they gave me a time frame
for a single-port T-1 card with echo cancellation back in January.

I need to get a good 4-port analog card as well to handle those backup
POTS lines.

Questions:
(1) Good 2xT1 card with hard echo cancellation?
(2) Good 4-port analog card?
(3) How can I best handle fax?  Should it come through one of the POTS
lines or should it come through the T1?  Am I best off using Hylafax? 
Separate DiDs are not a problem.  I have plenty now and the important
ones are 866, 877 and 888 numbers that are forwarded to local numbers
anyway so getting a separate fax DiD and having the 877 fax number
forwarded to it is not a problem.
(4) Can I use an existing data T-1 or does it have to be somehow
reprovisioned?  I have a backup T for my web servers that is hardly used
and it would be a great testing utility.

I sincerely thank you in advance for any/all help with this.
