[cisco-voip] Faxing recommendations

[Leetun, Rob]

I have become the faxing guru for our firm and recommend that you use a
VG248 and set it up for fax relay, or you can use an ATA with some
additional config changes.  Remember that you need to set up the faxes
for your box and not include any others outside the box.  When the
device receives or sends a fax and when there is a codec mis-match the
device will default to fax-passthrough and everything will work correct.
I would be willing to send you my documentation if you would like?

Rob

We've gone with a mixture of POTS lines for a few faxes and ATAs for
others but have found also found the ATAs less than ideal. the POTS
lines double up as emergency telephone points so we'll probably stick
with this model for now.

Has anyone tried any other non-cisco ATAs such as the small Patton
smartnodes? They sound better on paper since they support T.38 fax over
ip while not being a full size 24 port FXS gateway/router but some real
world experience of using these for FAX would be useful.
