Currently Asterisk does not support fax termination. This means you cannot use Asterisk itself to send or receive fax transmissions. However, pass-through faxing is generally possible, meaning you can connect a fax machine to your Asterisk server as you would an analog phone and have Asterisk pass it to the PSTN. Faxing over a digital line is unreliable and not recommended.
