Can someone explain where we are with spandsp? Is it ready for a production environment? How much will one fax using spandsp load the processor on an * system?
I believe Steve Underwood has some important improvements planned that will make spandsp's txfax and rxfax applications more robust. 'Production quality' is a very subjective term ... how about you try it and let us know what _you_ think ;-) One caution - since it runs inside the core of asterisk, any serious problems that _may_ exist in the current code could take asterisk out of service until you restart it.
Your subject line suggested you want to compare txfax/rxfax and HylaFAX. You can't, really ... they're different tools for different jobs. HylaFAX is much more than just a modem engine, .. it's a framework for sending and receiving large volumes of faxes, and for managing those faxes in the most flexible, configurable way possible. If you just need a relatively simple virtual fax machine for receiving a few faxes, converting them to PDF and emailing them to you, you can probably convince rxfax to do that for you. I wouldn't think it would hit the CPU any more heavily than transcoding one audio stream.
