I have an old Brooktrout ISDN fax card on BRI used mostly for receiving faxes. It works with windows fax server software which sends faxes to different e-mail boxes according to telephone number on which fax was send.

Since card is getting rather old and I don particulary like server software I wonder has anyone got any practice with linux fax servers. What I need is ISDN fax card and software which is able to save fax as a picture to file and somehow retain telephone number (filename or directory name). Sending picture by email is than trivial task.

When i type fax in ubuntu spoftware center there seem to be many results..

I think you can do something similar with some websites.

Probably there is something better than this but, anyway..

Thanks for the answer. But this is not what I have been expecting.

Does anybody have any practice regarding receiving faxes and can recommend me hardware and software combination?

Hardware: Any ISDN card with a CAPI linux driver (a simple AVM fritz is good enough, but requires a vendor driver)

Software: capisuite

Works great, sending is implemented as a virtual cups printer, receiving via email (pdf attachement).
