Re: [hylafax-users] Digital vs Analog



Probably a little bit off-topic, but still...

We have recently moved from using multiple servers (4 in total) with multiple analog brooktrout cards in each one to a single server with HylaFAX and 32 virtual t38modems interfacing directly to a Cisco VOIP gateway.

There is no cost associated with fax cards of any sort - just the server machine itself (about $1,000 worth) (and the cisco voip infrastructure, of course)

Successfully sending approx 10,000 faxes per day, and receiving about a 1,000 per day.

t38modem (written by Vyacheslav Frolov) - I cannot praise it enough.

"theoretically" digital should have less problems than analogue..

Of course my answer may be is silly. We used Zyxel rackmodem 16 devices + serial port cards + hylafax. Zyxel works flawless when call goes via public voice net (PSTN), but never will work properly when call goes via Voice over IP (VoIP). Previosly we use Memotec VoIP (very wrong). Now we use Alcatel buil-in PBX VoIP trunks (satisfactory quality). Eicon works via VoIP as miracle. Nobody can explain that thing. Now Zyxel rackmodem rust in the storeroom.

the main "unsolvable/firmware" problems ive seen on this forum would be
"Ring detected without successful handshake" etc.. etc.. etc..

if i go ahead and purchase one of the digital boards listed on ifax
http://shop.ifax.com/index.php?cPath=31_1_24

can i expect a similar/slightly higher/higher/much higer success rate.. or
is there a different set of problems??

Eicon related error is about 0.5%. Who knows, is error Eicon related?


Off topic: I check out various fax servers under Windows - there Eicon
Diva Server realy beat any analog modem. Looks like up-to-date fax servers
cannot understand how to works analog modem.
