    It is worth pointing out that the V.34 modems have almost no chance of
    achieving V.34 speeds if you go:

            PSTN->analogue line->asterisk->FXS port->modem

    if you go

            PSTN->digital line->asterisk->FXS port->modem

    performance will depend on the FXS port, and any internal timing
    issues.
    With a TDM400 card its fairly unlikely to work. With a channel bank
    connected to a port on the same digital card that connects to the
    PSTN
    chances are high.

    The problem with the PSTN->analogue line->asterisk->FXS
    port->modem path
    is signal degradation through the extra
    analogue->digital->analogue step
    is too much for V.34. For FAX modems up to V.29 it is no problem. For
    V.17 is tends to work if the port quality is good.

Hi Steve,

Which fax-modem would you pick to highlight this behaviour ?
I mean :

"If you had to buy a single fax-modem to complement a laptop to demonstrate a TDM or ToIP system is V.34 or V.17-capable, which fax-modem would you choose ?"

You launch a shell-script from your laptop and it sends 5 or 6 faxes with the same content to a given destination (always the same one) at different speeds or protocols.

Reading destination fax machine's reception report, you can rate each sending and tell
 what your System Under Test is capable of.

I thought I had clearly said this was related to the nature of the path, and has little to do with the specific modem you use.

Steve
