Did you check that ?

Thats quite interesting, from a personal curiosity standpoint, as I did
not know such a protocol or method existed.

I guess with a Raspberry PI, Linux, ser2net (application), a USB fax
modem (assuming you could get, or are inbuilt, arm drivers), a
Tupperware box, and a couple of stand-offs, you could probably set up
your own fax server box for 30-50 quid.

Then again, if you've shelled out thousands for an I (or power system in
general) a few hundred more for a known to work solution would probably
cost far less than the time involved to get a cobbled together system
working.


With the newer systems it's often no longer possible to insert a fax
card.

Expecting perhaps SMTP to a service that performs the fax is one option.

Anyone have good experience with a service for this?

Thanks!
