I find this surprising. Is this fact? I don't see faxing disappearing anytime soon. I'm surprised Asterisk/Digium would ignore it and not try to support it. If people are to replace their old PBX's with Asterisk faxing is almost always going to be required. We have an old POTS line for faxing but it would be nice to get rid of it. For Asterisk/Digium to drop supporting faxes seems odd and doesn't make good business sense. I know a lot of people that will simply not give up faxing because of legal documents. I believe it should be built in since every other PBX system out there does it. If Asterisk/Digium are truly trying to supplant legacy PBX's faxing should be included.
My two cents (a nickel with inflation) I'm off my soap box for now. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew Joakimsen Sent: Monday, February 05, 2007 2:57 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: [asterisk-users] Asterisk Faxing Support Asterisk 1.2 has no support of t.38 whatsoever, the call will drop before t.38 is ever utilised, not even pass-thru. 1.4 Adds support for T.38 pass through only and no other sort of faxing, the endpoint must support T.38 and you must send your call to a T.38 gateway and you must not use NAT anywhere in your network and you must enable re-invites which could cause CDRs not to reflect the true details of the call. Asterisk/Digium also has no interest in any further interest in expanding T.38 or faxing support in Asterisk. Steve Underwood and the other fine persons that have helped to develop the software DSPs and other stuff required for FoIP support also have no interest in writing any further faxing support for Asterisk (RxFax, TxFax + the newest span_dsp wont even compile, much less work under Asterisk any more) probably because they know it will never be included into the Asterisk code.
