[asterisk-users] [VOIP-Users-Conference] Re: Free FAX license from Pika
Randy, I think you are simplifying the issue by saying it's because of asterisk that they are no longer required. They also had a very important use when sending bulk international faxes in that they provided store and forward functionality. Eg you send a fax to japan but you would fax to a local usa number, they would then transmit via a private IP network and then drop it out the other end via a local call in Tokyo. Yes I know it's hard for people to think that a company like that could be doing 10's of millions of dollars in traffic a month but you have to remember a lot of things have changed. Keep this in mind when thinking that Asterisk is the "be all and end all" to voip.....sure as the sun rises tomorrow there will be something to replace it OR it must morph into something else.
