Side questions about spandsp... Is it possible to print the fax header like what most faxes do (that is: who is sending the fax, how many pages are included etc...) I'm not talking about printing callerid, often I receive fax from the US (and there's no CallerID being displayed then) but my fax machine can print the fax header very well.



The "header" here is sometimes called a "tagline". It's part of the image that the fax sender transmits. If the coverpage does not contain this information then the tagline, in the USA, is required to have the date and the fax number of the sender. This is an FCC rule, and a sender can get fined for not having them.


In Germany, a computer generated FAX must contain something like **CCT** in its header line.

There are probably a number of rules like this around the world. All of them are stupid, as they are based on such a narrow vision of what these machines are doing.
