Seeking help for a silly FAX project (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hi Everyone

I will try and keep it sort, my friend and I both do our own homelabs the usual stuff Radarr, Pi-hole, TrueNas, Proxmox etc.

Now we want to do a bit of silly thing as the title says, regards to Fax'ing we just want to be able to do send faxs to eachother (memes, guides etc.) We both have a cisco SPA2102 VoIP which to our understanding should do the trick.

I have tried to find stuff on the internet to see if I could find a guide or some idea on how to do this in a modern internet method but without luck, so I was hoping to either get a bit of help or straight answer saying "Just use email man"

Yea, how much do you know about SIP?

I ask because what I would do in this situation is run up a PBX, like FusionPBX, and get the ATA units to connect as an extension to allow calls between them.

No need for a sip trunk to a phone provider as you don't care for external calls.

None, whatsoever but I can learn. I quickly found this opensource project https://www.freepbx.org which has a guide and installation script so maybe a good place to start.
