In my case, I have a single PRI coming into a single port PRI card on my Asterisk box. My "old" fax numbers (prior to our switch to PRI) are DIDs on that PRI.
Using IAXModem+HylaFAX, I can recieve faxes without having seperate POTS lines for faxes, or an external fax board, or a multiport T1 card. Adding new fax numbers involves assigning a new DID...so adding additional fax "lines" doesn't cost anything (again, IAXModem is free...) --TS >>> Olivier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 04/17/07 2:19 PM >>> 2007/4/16, Stephen Bosch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > It's not entirely clear to me why people continue to cling to the idea > that Asterisk should handle faxing also.

The benefit, I guess, is to save a dedicated line and not changing incoming fax numbers, as you cannot port them individually. But you're right to point it also has drawbacks ... _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
