I would install Hylafax(opensource too) with Asterisk via IAXModem, it
worth! You can keep all the features, hylafax running in same server or a
separated one, and IAXmodem will be a Modem on Hylafax, and a simple
extension on you *.
It works great for me, and there are more users using this architecture, you
can setup as much IAXModem as your servers can handle, so it's very
scalable.

Dear list,
The company I'm working for is trying to use app_rxfax to receive faxes on
an Asterisk machine. Our initial tests looked very promising, but
unfortunately we've encountered some problems. We've been trying to solve
these problems for quite some time now, but we're running out of options. So
I really hope that somebody can give some help here.
Basically our set-up is this: We have an Asterisk server (version 1.2.7) with
an ISDN trunk (Sangoma A104D), we've configured asterisk to run rxfax on a
specified extension. Originally we started out with spandsp 0.0.2pre26 and
the original app_rxfax for spandsp 0.0.2. Some of the faxes were coming in
perfectly, but soon we noticed that quite often there were substantial
pieces of the fax missing in the resulting tif file.
We've tried the following to solve these problems:
- We've checked the timing settings for the ISDN trunk, these seem to be
ok.
- We've tried several versions of libtiff (currently we are using 3.7.2).
- We've tried using 0.0.3 versions of spandsp (since we're using asterisk
1.2.7 we had to modify app_rxfax.c to work).
- We've created a custom dialplan application to disable the echo
cancellation on the isdn channel on which the fax is received.
- We've tried various settings for t30_set_supported_compressions,
t30_set_supported_image_sizes, t30_set_supported_modems and
t30_set_supported_resolutions (I must confes that I didn't really know which
settings to use here, but we have tried a lot of them).
- We've tried several fax machines to send the faxes, ranging from simple
fax-modems to large dedicated fax machines.
But still a lot of faxes give problems, either the tif is missing large
portions, or the fax isn't received at all. At the bottom of this mail are
2 examples of the logging when it goes wrong. I really hope that somebody can
give a few pointers. Thanks in advance,
Kind regards,
