Nice. The E4200 is what I wanted but it wasn't in stock anywhere when I was on the hunt. I just recently bought an Asus RT-N16 ... my boss is hooked now so I will probably be working on this at work and do this one next ;) > Are you using a POTS connection or SIP provider for your phone system ? > SIP only. > :drool: So you can receive faxes that arrive at home on the road then, > as an email attachment, right ?

You could easily use a PAP2 or HT286 for the fax machine and register it to the router. > What information resources did you use when setting up your system ? > Google when I was stuck. I didn't document the sites as I actually couldn't make this work using DD-WRT or Tomato without having to install everything on the USB key. I didn't like this so kept going as I'm familiar with cross-compiling, linux etc. and ended up with my own firmware. You can go with the DD-WRT or Tomato + asterisk-on-usb setup if you like, it does work but not what I wanted. I can tell you to focus on compiling the firmware, getting that to work 100% re-flashing and you're good to go. Then work on the asterisk install. The Asterisk install is minimal (ie: only loads what modules are needed and no more) all extra files etc are removed for space. There's no gui, so I hope you are ok with SSH for config changes. The callback/call-through/fax2email are agi's, those took the longest to get working as I knew nothing about this. > Thanks again for the replies. > > LG > -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
