So is it possible to make Hylafax talk to Callweaver? With IAXModem will this work eventhough my outbound fax will be T.38 over SIP (not IAX!)?
If so, how to configure IAXModem to talk to Callweaver? -----Original Message----- From: callweaver-users-boun...@callweaver.org [mailto:callweaver-users-boun...@callweaver.org] On Behalf Of Peter Verhoeven Sent: Wednesday, October 28, 2009 8:56 AM To: 'Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion' Subject: Re: [Callweaver-users] outbound faxing Thanks for your input so far everyone. The background is that I started with Asterisk (Trixbox actually), and had iaxmodem configured and running with hylafax. But alas, this was not T.38. My SIP provider fully supports T.38, and being a SIP provider, IAX was not an option anyway. Next I stumbled upon t38modem, but I could not get OPAL to compile, an issue with missing libexpat-1 header files, which I failed to resolve. After more searching I found out about Callweaver and it's superior T.38 support. This is where I am now. I got Callweaver compiled, installed, and running, making successful outgoing voice calls. And I'm about to try the T.38 as per the link http://www.callweaver.org/wiki/Faxing+With+CallWeaver I'll concentrate on getting that to work for me for now. But the concern about lack of "managing the fax queue" remains. I'd love to use Hylafax in tandem with Callweaver but it doesn't appear to be possible at this stage? Unless I can have this scenario (all on the same host by the way): hylafax -> iaxmodem -> callweaver -> T.38 -> sip provider Cheers, Pete -----Original Message----- From: callweaver-users-boun...@callweaver.org [mailto:callweaver-users-boun...@callweaver.org] On Behalf Of Thomas Kenyon Sent: Tuesday, October 27, 2009 6:39 PM To: Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Callweaver-users] outbound faxing Eric-Vittorio Li Destri wrote: > Hi, > > There's also T38modem.

I've not tried it, but this is a common setup. _______________________________________________ Callweaver-users mailing list Callweaver-users@callweaver.org http://lists.callweaver.org/mailman/listinfo/callweaver-users This communication including any email attachments is confidential.
