I want to setup a phone system that can allow the caller to type in a faxback number, and automatically be sent a fax file. Is this possible with Asterisk? Or using Asterisk & a Linux fax program? I've seen stuff about incoming faxes, but nothing about outgoing. This is over a Zap channel, not IP, btw. Thanks.

...ming? Maybe I need to put Asterisk on a faster machine since it's only on an old PPro system circa 1998. Hrmmmm. So I installed on an idle PIII that was in the rack. This a.m. I switched over to using the faster Asterisk setup and started running the same fax tests (BTW, I'm using free faxback systems to test inbound faxes, pretty handy. Go google for them!). Started with outbound. Sixtel was still chirping and then dying. So I switched to using VPC's megacent outbound for testing. On the old system I always had to turn trunking off to fax out successfully over VPC so that is th...

Involves asterisk, so not too far off topic. Being New Zealand based we need alaw support. I've tried a few T38 clients which either don't support alaw (FaxBack free edition), and finished up with asterisk transcoding and the fax never gets sent. Or another client (FaxVoip) that gets a fax through but always has some lines missing. The issues above could be asterisk's problem (1.8 SVN branch) or the client's. What I'm obviously seeking is a kn...

I'm trying to figure out how to handle our fax line when we switch to our asterisk for voice. After a lot of reading and poking about I have concluded, as have many others it would seem, that the best thing to do is either to have a separate pstn fax line or use some sort of internet faxing service rather than try and make faxing work in a way it's not meant to over voip lines.

Hi, I think this is one area that needs to be developed. I am curently implementing a system for my home so cannot really justify the cost of financially supporting the development of this when all I really need to do is buy a telephone extension lead for my existing fax modem!!! I am more than willing to devote some testing/documentation time (I am not really a programmer) if that helps.
