Jay, The sending fax machine does not receive an accurate response. The machine sees all faxes as successful because it is not really sending the fax. I recommend disabling the result report on the fax machine to save on wasted paper and confusion. The actual result will come via email.

We use this product for our fax solution and it works near flawlessly. We haven't had any complaints about large faxes so I can talk to that specifically. We also use it with a third-party fax provider who ships us the units. I'm not sure if they use a specific firmware.
I know faxback also utilizes this product with great success.

We've recently become aware of the Audiocodes MP-202B ATA that sits at a customer premise, captures transmission from a fax machine, and sends it via HTTPS to a remote server. We are considering this as a solution to some specific problematic fax-over-IP situations.
I have a few concerns, and am wondering if anyone on the list has used these units and what your experience is with them, good, bad, or ugly. Specifically:
* Does the ATA receive the entire fax and then send it over HTTPS? If so, is there a limitation on the number of pages or size of data?
* Does the sending fax get an accurate report of failure if the actual destination fax is unreachable (busy, no answer, wrong number, out of paper, etc.) once the transmission is accepted by the local Audiocodes box, or do they get an "OK" report in error?
* What goes on the other end? Is there a bigger version Audiocodes box that connects to a PRI or other TDM connection to the PSTN?
* Are there competing products that we should be considering?
The Audiocodes website is somewhat lacking in terms of technical detail and I have a call into them but wanted to get some feedback from the community about this and similar solutions.
