The fax machine itself uses ECM, undoubtedly.
That's unfortunately not the case. The remote doesn't asks for ECM so
that's disabled or missing on that machine. In this situation fax
machine is produce better output and I don't know why. Might a better
DSP algo?
If callers that have
quality problems with IAXmodem+HylaFAX don't have problems with the fax
machine, then that strongly indicates that something is wrong with your
Asterisk setup... corrupting the audio. Usually this is due to resource
constriction of the Zap device, zttest scores less than 99.98% is
indicative of that situation.
I don't find any info that zttest is destructive or not on an active
system. I mean that currently active calls are disturbed or not while
zttest running. I can't stop system now. I look into zttest source and
find that zttest is using /dev/zap/pseudo but I don't know this
'pseudo' channel is related to any 'real' channel or not.

There is no functional difference between using uLaw, alaw, or
slinear... except that using slinear reduces the need for conversion...
and thus possibly lessens CPU usage very slightly.
I see. I leave it on slinear.
