Ok, I have to agree here. IF my simple fax server log/tiff archive is not enough to satisfy a client that the fax is genuine I would not want them as my customer. I don't care how much money they spend. Business is business and what I do is what I do. There has to be at least a little bit of

Why not capture the faxes (in or out) in tiff format, instead of audio format? Setup your asterisk box to relay faxes! I think in this case the impact on the client would be much greater if you can show them a recreation of the image from the raw data; you could always claim that a TIFF file was

I would have no problem decoding a FAX, doctoring the images, then creating modified audio from them. During decoding, the FAX modems produce a channel estimate, so reproducing the characteristics of the original audio path wouldn't be hard. I think it would be pretty easy to create fresh

Why is this hard to fake at all? You send a different fax to your system, and replace the Asterisk audio file with the one from the altered fax. Additionally, the client has no realistic way of verifying the correctness of your audio-to-fax translation tool; it could just as easily output a TIFF

You da' Man!!! I'll try this. In spandsp there is a program in the tests directory called fax_decode. It isn't very sophisticated, as it is intended for my test work, rather than general decoding. It is able to decode some FAX audio from a wave file, though. There are some expensive
