Switchvox SMB 4.0 provides advanced fax capabilities. Does Fax For Asterisk provide these same functions?
XNo. Fax For Asterisk provides the building blocks necessary to build your customized fax application. Inside of Switchvox, Digium has added the ability for desktop users to print their documents directly to Switchvox and then fax them, and for users to receive inbound faxes to a dedicated IMAP mailstore. Digium has used Fax For Asterisk as the building block to create these advanced applications, but they are not inherently part of Fax For Asterisk. Basic examples of how to use Fax For Asterisk from Asterisk’s dialplan are provided in the Fax For Asterisk Administrator’s guide.
