better send the EUR 10k (not $10k... :) ) to the author of spandDSP. Nobody needs HylaFAX for receiving faxes.
Firstly, I'm not just talking about receiving faxes.
If my choices are between HylaFAX and spandsp and if I want outbound queueing and a client-server interface for networked usage, then spandsp will not cut it alone.
So yes, anyone who wants these features will need to use HylaFAX. And to use HylaFAX with Asterisk currently one must send the fax calls to an FXS port and then to a HylaFAX-controlled modem.
This is not a pretty configuration, I completely agree. And, I completely agree that there are a myriad of beautiful ways to do this, in theory. But the coding does not exist for those to be reality. So unless someone wants to code it or pay to have it coded, then those who want outbound queueing and a client-server interface must put up with the cumbersome configuration.
Furthermore, even if you assumed that spandsp was as stable as HylaFAX, there is a vast feature-set difference between them as far as the faxing itself goes. Steve has already made it clear that he sees no future in fax, and that he does not intend to bridge that feature-set gap at all.
So, show me a T.38 channel driver for Asterisk. And if you think that using t38modem is ugly, then show me a T.38 driver for HylaFAX.
