[Serusers] Fax and SIP

[Giovanni Balasso]

Maybe not specific to ser, but I think this issue may be intresting to 
serusers...
I think business voip solution would have a major added value if they could 
offer fax service. After some googling around it seems that fax over IP 
protocols (T.38) are somewhat unreliable. 
Ok now some loud thinking:
enters SIP, and we all well know that SIP is media independent, so could I 
send documents instead of voice? I mean having two SIP endpoints which can 
transfer, say, a postscript file. Then we should build SIP fax machines which 
can scan documents to ps and send and receive via SIP, and as well build PSTN 
gateways which receive from SIP and simply pass ps data to some fax server 
like hylafax.
Do you thik this is possible? Am I delirating?

ciao
