Re: [Astlinux-users] AstLinux next release

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

Hello Peter,

the best/most reliable configuration for a production system is
iaxmodem+hylafax. That's the configuration you are using.

spandsp 0.0.3 includes some ECM features, what helps if you run it with
app_fax. I have this combination running, but having said, I am not
sending receiving tons of faxes to/from different location in the world.
If I would need to send/receive so many faxes, I'd really go for hylafax!

regards,

Ingmar
