RE: carrier grade fax boards?

[Colin Bodor <colin.bodor () imperium ca>]

If looking for old school industrial faxing capabilities then maybe something like:

https://www.dialogic.com/en/products/fax-boards-and-software/fax-boards.aspx

I have a client who used to us them with a custom inbound dictation application and multiple PRIs to feed them (not the 
fax board, but dialogic) worked well. Not cheap for licensing...

Not really fax board, but there are ATA (analog telephony (?)
adapters) that handle fax very well (and others that just suck at it).

Certain versions of the Cisco ATA 180 series worked really well even over satellite; others were terrible.  It's 
somewhat of a hit or miss area.

How many users are you supporting?  If you're looking for a device to just put on-prem at a customer site to handle 
fax, those ATAs are pretty easy to find.
