Re: [Astlinux-users] AstLinux next release

[IS <is...@es...>]

Hi Kevin,

you can use iaxmodem to talk to a fax application. The best choice here is
to use Hylafax on a remote system. This combo allows you to send/receive
faxes via Zaptel, mISDN, etc. eFax should work too. Maybe some
configuration tweaks are necessary. Darrick probably has a look. I'll
check too if time allows.

In an rather experimental state I have running spandsp with app_?xfax over
mISDN. I managed to send/receive faxes. However, for sending faxes, a nice
interface is missing. That's just a proof of concept at this moment.
However, I had some issues with newer spandsp versions to get
cross-compiled. I talked to Steve Underwood and he could fix one issue and
the other one I noticed, I have to re-test.

That's the status. Fax over SIP... did you test this - not with Astlinux
but on a standalone system? Heard reliability is an issue. I can't comment
on this because I haven't tried it.

cheers, Ingmar
