I'd say that would depend on the configuration you are considering. We have a number of fax machines running off of sipura spa-2000's that connect to a remote asterisk server and terminate to the pstn via voip as well.

I'd say it's about 90% reliable at this point. However, we've noticed quite a bit of variability around the quality of the connection and underlying provider you are using for termination - so your results will vary.

It also seems a couple of other tricks help:

(1)put an ADSL filter at the fax machine end, this seems to help filter out noise from the signal and slow down the analog modem (not sure if this is an old maid's tale or not, but seems to help).
(2)if you are using the sipura as your ATA, disable all of the fax detection. Just make sure you are only allowing ULAW as your codec.


Other than that it's pretty straightforward. If you are looking to do something to send receive to files, etc. we haven't had any luck getting something along those lines to work w/pure voip.

Hello,

Before putting any effort, I would like to know if somebody has successfully run asterisk receiving FAXs in IP and sending them out in IP as well?



If yes using which components please?



Any help is greatly appreciated !
