The simplest way is to start with a pbx. For example, set up a stand alone Elastix box, don't enable any of the extra things, just use the asterisk portion.
Once you've got the pbx working with at least one extension, you'll know it's ready for the next step which is faxing. # Install NV_Faxdetect, NV_Backgroundetext and NV_Fax2email wget http://www.elastix.org/components/com_joomlaboard/uploaded/files/NV_Apps_elastix_0.zip unzip NV_Apps_elastix_0.zip cp NV-Apps-elastix-0.9/*.so /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/ chown asterisk:asterisk /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/app_nv* chmod +x /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/app_nv* asterisk -rx "module load app_nv_faxdetect.so" asterisk -rx "module load app_nv_backgrounddetect.so" asterisk -rx "module load app_nv_faxemail.so" To see if you've got everything installed ok, run the following. asterisk -rx "core show applications like NV" If you see the three items running, you're good. amportal restart At this point, you should be able to create virtual modems using the GUI, then make the changes in the inbound route of each DID you wish to receive faxes for. I've heard countless times that Internet faxing is unstable and I'm sure it is but for one, if you're using a PRI, it will be stable always and for two, if you're using a reliable ITSP, faxes seem to come in reliably as well. As ITSP's are Internet based, there is always that factor of course. As for Avantfax, that's an option if you need it but I really didn't take notes when I worked on that. Not sure if this helps but it's a start. Mike On Tue, 16 Mar 2010 09:39:06 -0500, Josh Patten wrote: > Would you be kind enough to post how you got hylafax to work?
