As you move from the single port to the 4 port version of FaxxBochs, its only an extra $20 or so per port. The base unit is also pretty cheap compared to any of the little Asterisk boxes around. They just don't need the complexity of Asterisk. They just need a processor that can run 4 instances of V.17 (I don't think they do V.34) and a fairly simple TCP stack to interact with the server.

Has anyone investigated the new FaxxBochs offering? It appears to handle the analog fax machine locally, then send the fax as a data TCP connection to the server (as a TIFF or JPG I would guess). It totally removes the VOIP problem with fax machines and is a clever solution. $30 a month unlimited in and out is reasonable, but I would rather have that income myself.
It would be great if I could resell it and make a cut, but they require 75 device sales the first year.
If someone knows anything about “reconfiguring” one of these, I would love to read about it.

looking at their other offerings, I would guess that its a four port asterisk box with IAX modem connecting to hylafax to "receive" the inbound fax and then send it to their "datacenter" hyalafax server(s) for onward transmission using the "proxy" feature in jobcontrol, inbound would work in the same way but the other way around. The AES 256 encryption could well just be SSL...
not a bad solution if you must have fax and don't have PSTN (or ISDN) connectivity, but as its store and forward, I'm not sure how it plays out legally...
