sorry jamie, i didn;t miss the point, i just didn't put in the
smiley...
you might have missed what one of asterisk machines is actually running
on...
p100 was refering to a pentium 100 processor, doing other stuff as well
asterisk... throw a fax at it and would probably limp to computer
heaven !! (even running linux) ... it runs normally at 75% cpu
utilisation.... :-)

Sorry to say this Gary, but I think you're missing the whole point behind Asterisk. Why merely try and 'recreate' what PABXs already do and have been doing for the last quadzillion years. Asterisk, BY DESIGN, is trying to do, not only the same stuff, but MORE and BETTER.
So, keeping this in mind, why is it so outrageously rediculous to ask? If asterisk is MORE than just a PABX, won't that mean it's MORE appealing to users?
I don't expect anything when it comes to Asterisk. If a feature works, great, I have a new toy. If it doesn't, I try and help fix it. If it's not there, i 'suggest' it. It's all part of the open source process.
Oh, and as for PABXs in australia that support fax, well, Cisco have a nice little full IMS system that does it. But who wants to pay $1,000,000 for a PABX, right?

I always have a chuckle when I see this.
it probably could if someone sorts it out, but its reqally starting to
expect a lot.
I really cant think of any pab system (at least here in australia)
which has a builtin fax. fax/phones sure, fax on computers sure, but
pab/fax mmmmm, I can just see my p100 sitting at home trying to deal
with faxes and phone calls..... (shudder......)

All this talk of faxing has started me thinking (this is always a bad thing) and I've come up with a question.
Now, I know Asterisk can detect and route faxes, to a 'fax' extension and all that. But can Asterisk be used to 'receive' faxes?
I know there was some talk about this just over a year ago and I'm wondering if anything came of it. It would be nice to be able to receive faxes with asterisk and then have them filer through and AGI script and emailed or dumped in a directory/database/whatever.
I mean for me, currently, I have a fax/modem hooked up to the same machine asterisk is on, and it get's sent faxes via my FXS port. It would be nice to be able to pull off the modem and throw it away. (or auction it on ebay)
