asterisk users - Apr 2009 - T.38 ATAs

Hello

I am going to try the new Digium Fax for Asterisk product. I'm planning 
to connect fax machines to Asterisk (currently 1.6.0.9) via T.38 ATAs. 
I'm looking at Grandstream HT502 or Linksys SPA2102 ATAs. If anyone has 
any experience with these devices, or other recommendations, I would be 
grateful if you could share your experiences.

Regards
Ian

Thanks for that, I'll add Audiocodes to the list. By the way, we usually 
buy our VoIP kit from VoIP Supply - we've always been very satisfied :-)

Regards
Ian

Their MP202, MP203 models are rock solid for fax.

Some Grandstream firmware revisions seem to do T.38 fairly well. Others 
don't.

If you use the latest Linksys firmware (5.2.x) the SPA2102 can do T.38 
fairly well with some FAX machines and FAX modems, but its really quirky 
with others. My impression is the SPA3102 is quirkier than the SPA2102.

Thanks to everyone who replied. I'll let you know if I have any issues 
with Fax for Asterisk...
