Darren, If/when we replace uclibc with eglibc we would be able to support the binary blobs that Digium is selling. (g729, fax, eventually skype) It will be at least several months before we would have the time to get this implemented and tested. It's a major overhaul. I'm trying to find some information which would provide some size comparisons between the two.
Bottom line, if you need something reliable right now, I'd set up a Hylafax server.
