Maybe not. However, if the user is primarily interested in fax to email then Hylafax can do that very well. A PBX is not an essential part of a fax solution for many. Iain --On Tuesday, June 8, 2004 8:46 am +0800 Steve Underwood [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Iain, Your response seems to

I mean CPU loading. HylaFAX only does 1D coding (unless that changed very recently) and the ECM is brand new. The features you list may be a lot less well tested than you think. :-) Also, only a tiny fraction of FAX machines can even support ECM. Steve, HylaFAX supports 1D MH, 2D MR, and 2D

Hi all. I'm looking to set up a fax via email service so that users can email a specific mailbox and receive fax's to a specific mailbox. Can this be done? I've had a look an SpanDSP and I think that's what I want but I'm not sure. Cheers Matt ___
