I believe what Darrick was trying to say was that IAXmodem and Hylafax
is more reliable than app_rxfax, not that it wouldn't work.
As for whether the applications are installed, have you tried show
application rxfax? I can see that on my 0.6.1 Astlinux box neither of
these applications are installed, but for that matter, neither is
libtiff or spandsp. For receiving faxes here, I simply use an IAX2
channel to my main network server that is running IAXmodem and Hylafax.
Works beautifully for me.

I was really hoping to try and do it all on the one box... detect fax
tone and receive it into a tiff using RxFax. Are you saying that this
is either not possible, or unlikely to work? The Astlinux box is very
lightly loaded, just running my home, it is unlikely to be doing
anything else while receiving a fax.
Thanks

You'd be better off using iaxmodem on another machine tied in with
hylafax. Much more robust than rxfax.
I have successfully sent and received faxes over IP through a
TDM400p card to my Brother fax machine.

I see that libtiff and spandsp packages are included in
astlinux. Are the RxFax/TxFax functions and
nv_background_detect functions also included? (see

I'm bold enough to try and see if I can receive a fax over a
VoIP line with AstLinux!
Thanks
