I second the Xmedius. we have been using it for years and have had no problems.<div><br></div><div>Scott<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 10:39 AM, Nick Matthews <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:matthnick@gmail.com">matthnick@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

imagine the benefits are in line with "you can buy from one vendor,<br>
keep your discounts, one throat...". It's an OpenText (previously<br>
captaris) fax server underneath, and it's not all that hidden.<br>
<br>
The dial peers look very much like normal dial peers except for a one<br>
or two line fax configuration. Most of the tinkering would happen on<br>
the fax server itself. The TCL script works alright for small<br>
operations, but you're right in that it's not a good replacement for a<br>
fax server at all. Both Xmedius and the Cisco Fax Server are<br>
boardless options. You may also want to look at the Xmedius AXP<br>
module - it's an NM module that hosts the fax server.<br>
