Cisco ATA 186 and Faxing

Archived from groups: comp.dcom.voice-over-ip (More info?)

Have people got the Cisco 186 to work properly when sending faxes? My
current Grandstream 486 gives poor transmission speed and keeps
disconnecting. The relevant current codec is G.711. There is to be a
codec T.38 for fax but the 186 does not yet support it, although its
competitor does; can we expect Cisco to support T.38 in firmware at a
later point?

Is the ATA 186 reasonably current or is it going to be superseded
soon, having been on the market two years? Is there a Web board
particularly including Cisco VOIP questions?

i use VOIPTALK for faxes and it's not good for that, although it may
be a problem with my Grandstream unit in particular.

Can you tell me which supplier u have for PSTN fax send/receive? I
would be interested.
