I usually have good results when using a regular fax machine connected to a PAP2T on a small network. I have a customer that has this setup in several offices. Lately I have noticed that recent versions of Asterisk have worse results with this fax setup that onlder versions. I have 3 new installations where they have Asterisk 1.4.9 with a TDM800P card. It is almost impossible to send or receive faxes using the PAP2T. Other offices still have version 1.2 and they rarely have problems faxing. Any recommended tweaks for the PAP2T or to Asterisk to handle faxes better? -- Telecomunicaciones Abiertas de M?xico S.A. de C.V.

Did you try T.38 ? These PAP2 boxes should be able to benefit from Asterisk T.38 pass through capabilities. You would then have to install a T.38 termination device, such as Linksys 3102 : PSTN -------- Linksys 3102 ----------- LAN --------- PAP2 ----------- Fax machine Cheers -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
