Right now that's intentional. I still consider it "developer-grade"
code. That said, I do use it on small production usage, and it's fine
there with a few known issues that I'm working on that probably won't be
of consequence to most.
Does it only do fax or does it do other data communications?
Only fax.
What fax protocols are supported?
Class 1 and Class 1.0 - V.27ter, V.29, and partial V.17 (all as provided
by spandsp - Steve's working on the V.code and I'm working on the T.code).
Does the destination path from asterisk->whatever need to be iax or will
asterisk properly translate to a different medium (eg presumably
iaxmodem does iax to asterisk, then from asterisk does it matter if you
use sip, zap, h.323, whatever ?) I cant see where it would matter once
it hits asterisk, but stranger things have happened ...
IAXmodem doesn't care what the channel type is beyond Asterisk.
Realize, though, that for most usages I recommend running IAXmodem on
the same system as Asterisk, and that's to avoid any audio corruption
that would normally occur (even in minute amounts) when passing over a
UDP/IP network. So unless you're running your SIP or H.323 fax endpoint
also on the same system or have somehow managed to prevent any audio
corruption (jitters, etc... you should know that caveat) along that
path, then the answer to the question is Zap is what you *should* use.
You can try other things, but you'll most likely just be wasting your time.
