How do these fax2email providers run their service? Do they all use physical lines rather than use the internet?

He may be better off porting the number to a fax2email service (although ime they are worth play testing first before you put any real work on them, eg. recently I've found one that doesn't support Fine Print or higher res faxes). AFAICT, to get a (real) fax machine using T.38, you either need to buy one that already supports it (never seen one, but I am assured they exist), Buy an ATA that supports it, or move to callweaver. _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
