[ngw] OT: Fax Over IP

[Chris Williams]

If you aren't set on having something in-house, have you considered something like MyFax? 
 
With it you can fax straight from email. We have several GW accounts set up. Users simply proxy in, and send an email with attachment, and it shows up on the other end as a fax. Faxes are received into an email account as well. Of course, most of our faxes are produced on computer, so attaching is a simple matter. Users scan any hard copy docs they need using a network scanner.
 
It has worked well for us for months now.

We spent most of our time working on the account codes, as without that it was unusable for us.

Luckily we don't use account codes for LD so that shouldn't be an
issue.  Outside of that did the system seem to work ok or did you
spend most of your time working on the account codes issue?
