David,

I used rxfax for some time and it definitely does not work reliably. Iaxmodem + HylaFax, on the other hand, provide industrial grade reliability. So far, it worked 100% of the time for me.

That being said, it would be great to have everything in one box. HylaFax would have to be included in AstLinux for that, but I am unsure how difficult that would be, or how much resources does HylaFax consume.

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
David

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 http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/AGX+Extra+Addons+for+Asterisk )

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

Thanks
David
