| Just wondering what everyone out there finds as the best method for reliable
faxing. Are you using FXS/FXO cards or something like the cisco ATA-186-I2
Analog VOIP Adapters?
Thanks

devices.

| the ata-186 seem to work OK for anything but the super-g3 fax machines. We
have probably 30 ATA's out for faxing and I have only run into a problem
with one of them so far.
we VG248's at 2 sites, one site hasn't reported any problems. the other is
having all kinds of problems right now, its a nightmare. i wish they would
move to an efax type solution. I can't blame the 248's (yet), could be
wiring or networking problems.
i've also got some 224's out at a regional campus, they seem to be working
OK with fax machines out there, no super g3 machines though that I know of.
Personally I would like to see people move to some sort of efax solution
like Steve said... seems like a lot of voodoo getting everything to work.

and for some reason like the trips to the fax machine.

| If you go with an efax.....XMediusFax is a great solution.
If you continue to use Analog faxes always make sure you have
fax-passthrough and the fax have ECM off and Super G3 off.

| Scott,
If you are a user of Xmedius. Do you ever fax from a regular analog fax
machine on your network directly to your Xmedius server? Are you using the
T.38 protocol to achieve this? Or have you done away with all analog fax
machines on your netowork?

| We have both........ I don't know if I will ever get all users to
actually use the fax server as they just always do what they have always
done.
But for the ones using it..... they love not having to leave there desk.
Yes I can fax from my local analog faxes to my fax server.
Yes I'm using T.38 to achieve this. Had to convert my MGCP gateway to
H323. but I heard that they also support T.38 in MGCP with CM 4.2.
All my fax machines are prefixed to dial 9 so to fax from my analog
faxes to the Fax server it is actually going out my PRI and back in.....
I do NOT have it setup to 4 digit fax.
Hope that helps.
Scott

| I can confirm we are using XMedius with MGCP on a 3662 (yes I know...old
:-) using CM4.2 with no known issues outside of the inability to send
pause characters before long-distance codes in the email-to-fax
interface (the default is a comma which won't work in an email address
of any standards-compliant e-sender..and that isn't really a specific
MGCP issue anyway (that I am aware of :-)
