Hi List,

_a big THANKS to coppice_ who, during the weekend, made a lot of
improvements with T.38.

At the moment, I can send and receive with 99% success faxes with txfax
and rxfax, connecting openpbx with my ATA T38 enabled by UTstarcomm.
  (sample attached)

It works because the ATA sends a reinvite with T38 headers both when
receiving and sending a fax, so openpbx can switch to udptl.

But there is still a problem.
Openpbx in chan_sip.c actually uses dsp to try to detect fax tones and
send a reinvite.
It simply does not work. It detects nothing even if it should do it.

This is particularly an issue when talking to CISCO gateways which
(Seldom) send a t38 reinvite on their own.

I have tried a sip call both to an ATA through a cisco GW and a call to
a fax2email extension connected to that ATA.

T38 reinvite is never sent. This is the biggest problem I have seen in
all the tests I have done.

Anyway, we are really closer have T38 faxing.

Another couple of things:
- openpbx (to me) needs some "marketing to become famous. An alpha
version and a freshmeat announce would do the job.

- T38 is a great feature. No opensource PBX (afaik) has t38 support and
it is really needed. A lot of people would switch to openpbx as soon as
it works.

- I am working on a web interface supporting only SIP and IAX2 channels.
Hope to give some demos as soon as it works!

Max
