[VoiceOps] Fax ATAs/devices

[Ball, Jared]

Not providing fax still leaves the local telco with one foot in the door. Also, if you are not careful the one pots line a business gets for faxing is likely to get published as their main number.

Fax is dead.  Long live fax.

We've resisted supporting it, but customers still need it on occasion, and they hate having a separate landline carrier just for a fax line.  So I'm wondering what others here use successfully to provide their customers with a "fax line" to a physical machine.  We would only use a handful of them, and only with our customers who have a fully managed service (IE, 2-3ms connection directly to us over MPLS).  We run Asterisk and pass T.38 to a few carriers.  We currently do fax to e-mail inbound on Asterisk with no issues.

Volume is very light, maybe 3-5 per day per customer, so things like the Vitelity FaxEnable don't make economic sense ($25/mo unlimited our cost).
