Cisco FAX Server ???

I'm not aware of any (and I'd be surprised if there is one) but I am curious why you would be using a router to do this instead of a FAX receiving app on a general purpose computer.

I would like to do that on a router so I could be sure that it will be very reliable, instead than on any general PC.

just my 2 cents, knowing that cisco ios is very stable on my network!

You will find this function on cheap home routers, but I doubt you will find it on a cisco IOS router.

I haven't seen a fax server on any router, never mind a cheap home one. How many people use fax at home, anyway?

AVM Fritz!Box routers do have that.

Hi, nope, no Fax Server available on a Cisco Router. I suppose you could get creative and "write" you own using TCL scripting. :)

Best bet though, in my opinion, is Elastix.

Good Luck! :)

It depends how you define "fax server".

T.37 Store-and-Forward Fax:

Converts a fax message into a TIFF file. Creates a standard MIME e-mail message. Attaches the TIFF file to the e-mail message. Forwards the e-mail message and attachment to the messaging infrastructure of a designated SMTP server, where the message is stored.

It works a treat.

Hello Andy that is really what I need to receive faxes only.

Can you give me more info about that?

Hello Andy

I have looked a bit on the cisco website.

But for me it is uncelar one requirement.

I have a cisco router (maybe 3700 or 2600) with the voice card VIC as written in the cisco site.

The gateway is the router. The incoming call will be received on a voice module in that router.

That second document - the Cisco Fax Services over IP Application Guide

- is the one to be looking at.
