SIP / FOIP Faxing

[phonejack99]

We recently installed SIP trunks between our main sites for inter office traffic.

We learned that in certain circumstances we are having issues between an anlog fax machine and a Brooktrout analog fax card.

The call flow looks like --

Fax -- analog port -- Sig Serv -- Sip Trunk -- Sig Serv -- analog port -- fax card

I'm wondering if we could get a fax card that would be a SIP endpoint and take the T.38 signal directly from the originating side's Sig Serv. to the fax card.

If anyone has done anything like this or knows if Nortel -- tried the Nortel site and didn't get anywhere -- has a supported vendor of such a card I would greatly appreciate hearing from you.

TIA

You can build a Trixbox linux based pbx, you'll get free faxing, conferencing, etc etc..

Not an easy task, but the software is free, cost you a PC is all.
