Why do you think you will get higher fax speeds or reliability?
There is no difference in receiving a fax over CAPI between chan-capi
and any fax-software like capi4hylafax. Both use the same CAPI commands
with the use of the card's fax capabilities.

I thought that receiving fax with Asterisk always meant to use one way or another, spandsp library.
That's the reason why I thought fax-enabled boards provide higher fax speeds or reliability.
(I don't mean using spandsp isn't reliable : I mean fax boards are said and "priced" to be more reliable and it's worth to evaluate the benefit of using them).

When writing "receiving a fax over CAPI", do you mean "receiving a fax over CAPI with Asterisk and processing it with spandsp" ?
