I have not, I actually learned about it today doing research for this particular problem. I'm interested in trying it, though. Yes, it seems more appropriate because you can also do execute_on_fax_failure and do something else when it fails i.e. delete the file that was just created, send an email out saying there was a failed fax, etc. The reason why I hadn't mentioned is was just because I had not tried it, and I didn't want to recommend it until I had tried it out. I'll do some research though.<br>

You've raised some good questions, and good points.<br>
<br>
This model does have an RJ-11, and I believe you are correct. I
don't have an ATA yet, but I'll get the ATA model that you have
(Grandstream HT286 ATA).<br>
<br>
1 - I'll do a dedicated fax number<br>
1.1 - Each fax machine will have its own number<br>
2 - As it stands, I'm going to be running this over VoIP<br>
<br>
As far as faxing via FS w/o the machine goes, I wasn't really aware
of that. I think I knew it, but it didn't click. After I get the
ATA setup working, I think I'll set up another version where FS is
handling it w/o a machine. That way I'll have both types of
experience under my belt.<br>
<br>
Actually, as I think about it more.. it probably makes more sense to
set up the environment where the machine isn't present first (as I
don't have the ATA on hand now)... <br>
<br>
Thanks!<div><br>

<blockquote type="cite">I've looked at that model, and it doesn't actually say
this but I'm assuming you connect an RJ-11 to the fax modem inside
the all-in-one. I do my faxing using SpanDSP, but basically what
you would need is an ATA that supports T.38, as well as a provider
that supports T.38. Flowroute seems to be pretty reliable (that's
who I use). I have a fax machine that I've played around with
here, and I'm using a Grandstream HT286 ATA to connect it to
FreeSWITCH.<br>
<br>
Having said all of that, it's highly dependent on your setup.
Questions:<br>
<br>
1. Are you going to have dedicated fax numbers?<br>
1.1. If so, will each fax machine have it's own fax number?<br>
2. Are you going to have this running over VoIP or TDM
(PRI/BRI/etc.)?<br>
<br>
If there's any other details you feel are related, please mention
those too. Realize that FS can do faxing on it's own without the
need for a fax machine. Most, however, decide not to go down that
route mostly because the fax machine is an interface most are
comfortable with. You can even do outbound faxes on a fax machine,
and get FS to handle incoming faxes and email them, store them,
and even print them to a network printer. <br>
<br>
We're more than happy to help!<br>

<br>
I know that there is a good amount of information out there on
how to do<br>
faxing via FreeSWITCH, but I'm still finding myself a bit
confused.<br>
<br>
I'm currently trying to figure out the process by which I
would need to<br>
do this. I'll detail my setup, and ask questions. I've read<br>
documentation, but I'm still missing something.<br>
<br>
Okay, I'm currently running FreeSWITCH in a CentOS VM, with
4GB of RAM,<br>
and I'm the only user. I'm using FlowRoute, and I have a
couple of<br>
unused numbers. Pretty simple, nothing out of the ordinary
(except<br>
maybe the VM part?).<br>
<br>
At some point in the next six months or so, I'll be getting a
couple of<br>
dedicated servers here for various things, and I'll begin
moving my VM<br>
servers from my main computer to those, as actual hardware
hosts.<br>
<br>
So my fax machine is built into an "All-in-one" Network<br>
Printer/Scanner/Fax (Brother MFC-7360N).<br>
<br>
Here's my main question, do I need to get a special card to
run a cable<br>
from my computer to the Fax?<br>
<br>
Is it better to get a dedicated fax machine to use, or are
there<br>
specialized fax machines for Fax over IP?<br>
<br>
Thanks guys and gals,<br>
