Hey guys,
is anyone of you using CentOS (4/5) for an ISDN fax gateway?
I just had
someone over here at the CentOS booth who wanted to know if
there's a
possibility to integrate the AVM CAPI into CentOS and then use the machine as a fax gateway with 2, 3 or 4 S0 buses.
Is that possible?
Probably. It's been quite a while since I did any new ISDN connections, and have never done it with internal cards, only with device line Annex 8000s via PRIs, and smaller Ascend Pipelines and Max 1600s (I have a couple of Max 1600s and a variety of Pipelines here we're not using if anybody is interested). I looked at a variety of internal ISDN cards with Linux about 10 years ago, but preferred to stick with external devices.
We use HylaFAX for all our incoming and outgoing fax, with Multitech external modems. I've always avoided any internal modems as it's kinda hard to reset a wedged internal modem without rebooting the machine.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in one pretty and well preserved piece, but to skid across the line broadside, thoroughly used up, worn out, leaking oil, shouting GERONIMO! _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
What Multitech external modem(s) do you recommend using with HylaFax?
