Okay.  And just so we're all clear on this - it really wouldn't have 
mattered if it had been Asterisk or Nortel or Avaya or whatever, it was 
the SIP-over-uncontrolled-network that doomed this arrangement for most 
faxing... it wasn't so much Asterisk's fault.  VoIP is often fine for 
voice - but not for fax or data.
