Shoretel loving sucks, don't use them ever.

Since when does Shoretel suck?

I hope you're kidding.

Woof, never had any issues like that. When I managed it, it was in a smaller environment (300 regular users, 50 seat call center).

Our reseller was pretty solid, never had any issues with their support either.

I run a 200 node fax to email gateway on asterisk (well elastix, but same diff). Very successful and it saved at least 5 digits of currency.

Care to elaborate on this some more?

I can elaborate some. Elastix (an asterix linux distro) has all the functionality built in. I have a sip trunk to the elastix box from my cisco call manager, and I create IAX extensions for any user that wants a DID fax number. I then tie that to a fax modem in elastix, and define an email address for the user. Call comes in to DID, routes to elastix, routes to IAX extension, routes to fax modem, turns into email with TIFF attached. it took about 15 minutes to go from reading about elastix to proof of concept, and that was 4 or 5 years ago. It's gotta be even easier today.

edit: calls that come in from our internet based sip trunk sometimes fail, but the vast majority (at least 99.5%) complete on the first retry). Our T1 calls are virtually 100% successful.

This sounds pretty cool. I am getting sick managing our poo poo fax environment. It is a mix of pots lines, lines spit out via VG224 and then a bunch of ATA187/SPA112 hidden under desks and whatnot.

Edit: Are you sending faxes through Elastix as well?
