Re: [Astlinux-users] AstLinux next release

[Peter R. <pe...@ne...>]

Hi everyone,

Just let you know that I do tests with

asterisk <--> mISDN <--> spandsp <--> iaxmodem <--> hylafax

Did a lot of research finding the best solution especially for the fax app.

Hylafax is definite the winner it has a superior  error checking and
automatic correction mechanism.

Running a system in production for one month now at a customer who send /
receive between 20 -30 faxes a day.

Read about rxfax / txfax that they have no crc build in but forgot to
bookmark this information don't know if this is true :)

regards,

Peter
