[Freeswitch-users] Is FAXing reliable on FreeSwitch w/ T.38

[Sean Devoy]

Thank you Steve.  That is exactly how I feel.  Unfortunately some financial and legal requirements will allow faxes, but not scanned & emailed documents. At least that is what my client claims.

My planned solution is to take their scans in on FS using T.38 on a SPA2012, run application="rxfax" to a tiff.  Then use an "email-to-fax" service to send it.  THEY could do "email-to-fax", but that is beyond the capabilities of this "assistant."

I'm using a Grandstream HT502, connected via our LAN to FreeSWITCH, and then out via Flowroute. It works sometimes. I'm not that concerned, because the high failure rate helps convince my users to use a more modern solution, like the nice Dell MFP that can scan to PDF.

You would think that someone would make a VoIP FAX machine that plugs directly into a LAN, but I haven't seen anything I'd be willing to buy.

Short summary: Even with a T.38 gateway, VoIP FAX is marginal.
