You can use any combination of CAPI based software in parallel. You just need to create the rules for which application shall act on which number/service. > Shall we then allocate destination numbers and or ports for each of those 2 > applications ? That depends on what you want to do. On incoming calls, each application gets the information about destination number and bearer-capability (service). If you can separate your services with these information, then all is fine. Just configure the applications not to act on the others numbers/services. For Fax and Voice on the same number it is not possible, because the bearer-capability may be the same. So one application to handle both is needed. This can be done with Asterisk/chan-capi. Receiving fax (via CAPI without spandsp) is a feature supported chan-capi if the isdn driver supports it. > And if you want to offer to every user, a unique extension for fax and > voice, would it still be possible to forward calls from voice application to > fax application (for outgoing faxes, the fax application can use its own > ressources) ? Outgoing is not a problem, just make sure that one application won't use too many channels and block other appliactions... Having a unique fax extension for each user can be done with Asterisk/chan-capi allone and with another fax-software like Hylafax as well. But if you want to forward a call (which was already accepted by Asterisk) to another CAPI application, it is not possible. (Well, Eicon has a special driver which can do a lot of CAPI extensions, but I did not try this yet). So if you want to do that, I suggest using just chan-capi for receiving faxes and maybe another application for sending faxes.
