Enterprise Fax Server using Open Source Tools, Linux, Asterisk and Spandsp

Using open source tools, like Linux, Asterisk and Spandsp library, i created a complete faxserver machine that can be used as an enterprise class server to send and receive faxes reliable and accurately.

The hardware i used are:

1. Gigabyte motherboard (the best motherboard for such kind of applications since lets you choose the IRQ for each PCI slot).
2. Digium TE110P for connection with the Avaya S8700 CM2 PBX

The software parts are:

1. CentOS 4.4 and the latest updates
2. Asterisk 1.2.12.1, Libpri 1.2.3, Zaptel 1.2.9.1
3. Spandsp snapshot 20061007 and rxfax&txfax for Asterisk-1.2 as of September 3, 2006
4. Samba for folder sharing and user security
5. Webmin

Problems:

1. Some Canon g3 fax machines have problem sending to the box resulting crap faxes.
