Re: [Astlinux-devel] iaxmodem

[David K. <Da...@Ke...>]

OK, so I installed iaxmodem and hylafax on another system and have it
working with astlinux (0.7) to send a fax, Both to a local fax machine, and
out through a trunk.

Now, I want to receive faxes, and I'd like to be able to detect a fax tone
and route accordingly. Googling suggests that I need asterisk apps
NVFaxDetect and NVBackgroundDetect.  Neither seem to be included with
astlinux. Has anyone tried to add these to astlinux? if so, how would I go
about it?

Thanks
David
