[Colin
Anderson] I am experimenting with IAXmodem to Hylafax running on an
Asterisk server. It works. Last Thur, I had 98 virtual modems recognized and
running under Hylafax. So far, I can send and recieve faxes reasonably well but
there's some configuration issues I have to get out of the way before I would
beta it on my users. I expect that Hylafax to a couple of plain old USR modems
running on /ttys0 and /ttys1 would work fine enough even if Asterisk was on the
box. Even though the postscript conversion is done on the server that can be
controlled with -nice. After that all that Hylafax has to do is service the
modems and the clients. This seems to be pretty low overhead - I think the
client protocol is FTP on a nonstandard port, and servicing a couple of modems
at 9600 can't be too taxing. Hell, 25 modems shouldn't be taxing, on a modern
machine.
BTW I have used, installed, admin'd etc about a dozen big Windows
faxing solutions (basically all of the big players) and I've never
used Hylafax before, and I was really impressed. It's better than 80% of the
Windows product offerings, IMO.
