[cisco-voip] Fax Machines having a very delayed response

Tue May 19 18:39:27 EDT 2009

I was thinking why are we still using fax machines….Most fax machines do other protocols like scan to pdf/smtp, etc…

Like 20 years ago I would you ask “Carburetors have their advantages why use fuel injection?”

I think people are really wanting the DSP that can do >14.4 speeds.

PBX's analog lines have had this for ever. Even hitting speeds of 100kbps if not higher.

ROLM had it's advantages.

Technically the SG3-G3 feature for MGCP T38 is supposed to do this for
you, to prevent having to program fax machines.  It blocks the SG3
tones and waits until the fax machines renegotiates G3.  This can have
its own issues though.

It's worth noting that the DSPs do not guarantee any speed faster than
14400 for modem passthrough, but if you are going to try and get
faster speeds it's the only way and it can be done under some
circumstances.

You won't do SG3 relay, but you may be able to get SG3 to work through
modem passthrough basically.
