Hi list, I installed iaxmodem and Hylafax to see how it compares to rx/txfax; so far I had 0 failure in my limited testing with a Philips HFC21 fax machine that failed very often with txfax (same test platform, with spandsp-0.0.2xxx).
So congratulation and thanks for this work ! (maybe some of the improvement is due to newer spandsp used in iaxmodem) Now I would like to use iaxmodem in a "fax polling" application:the customer calls the asterisk server from a fax machine, answers a few questions through an IVR, then a script generates a file (tiff or whatever) based on the customer's input, and the fax is transmitted on the customer's channel. With txfax it is straightforward. With iaxmodem, the only way I found is to send both calls to a meetme room: the customer hears a message/music while the fax is processed by Hylafax, and then iaxmodem is bridged to the caller's channel. It seems to work in my very limited testing, but I'm a bit worried about degradation going through the meetme pseudo-channel, which would result in less reliability. What do you think about reliability? Is there a better way?
