[AusNOG] Cisco SPA - Fax in Australia

[Joseph Goldman]

For us - yes, for clients who say they absolutely require fax, no. We 
run Fax2Email for inbound faxing for the most part but people want to be 
able to traditionally send faxes, and with the copper cut off apparently 
looming locally, we need to have a tested and working VoIP equivalent 
ready for our clients.
