RE: [Asterisk-Users] SpanDSP - Squished Faxes
Hello Carlos, Thank you for the reply. It does appear to be the actual viewer that squishes the image, not SpanDSP. I tried a different viewer on the workstation and the fax appears correct.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] SpanDSP - Squished Faxes
Which T1 card? Had same problem with TE410P. Things I did: 1. Move card to higher priority IRQ fixed problem (IRQ10). 2. Make sure IRQ is not shared. 3. Disable everything in CMOS that's not needed or using - COM, LPT, USB, Hyper-Threading, and the likes. 4. Use the latestZAPTEL Drivers. 5. Use Telco for timing source in zaptel.conf. Only set Telco as source.4 ports cards only need one source Bart - Original Message - From: Brian West To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Sent: Friday, June 24, 2005 10:23 AM Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] SpanDSP - Squished Faxes Check the clocking on your T1's if you're using a TDM board GIVE UP NOW those don't do faxing well due to frame slips.

It's hard to sell Asterisk/Digium as a serious alternative to Nortel with these embarrassments. Yeah, well, right now the only options are to do just that, a channel bank just for the fax machines/modems... or run a T1-capable fax machine/modem connected to another port on the incoming T1 card... or I guess have analog phone lines brought in from the telco just for the sake of the fax machines/modems. Yeah, it seems pretty silly to have a T1 with plenty of available channels, but not be able to use them for fax and so needing to order in analog lines to accomplish the task. I do all three. I have offices where I've got a T1 fax modem chained to the TE405P, offices where I use a channel bank, and offices where I have to bring in additional analog lines from the telco just for the sake of the faxes. It makes fax channels pretty expensive in comparison to voice channels.

Certainly would be helpful if at least they would provide an engineering interface, but as I've stated before, its highly likely the design (including at least a part of the drivers) was outsourced. There is at least some hope in that Steve Underwood believes spandsp worked with the TDM at one point, which would imply something has changed in the driver category. Hopefully, we'll find the problem as the TDM does fit the soho environment rather well. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Kevin, can you facilitate getting someone within digium to at least act as an engineering interface with a couple of us that are realy truly trying to identify the root cause with this card? (Or, is it already known that a unfixable design problem exits?) Since spandsp suppposedly worked at one time, it would imply a driver issue and a large number of TDM users would like to get to the bottom of this. Private email is fine if you'd like.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] SpanDSP - Squished Faxes
Sure the TDM400P will never do V.90 modem. But I had some extremelly interesting results ... Modem --- TDM400P --- Asterisk TE405P --- PRI E1 ISDN PSTN --- PRI E1 ISDN - Cisco AS5300 RAS I got 33.6kbps reliable connection Crazy test follows. Modem --- PAP2-NA --- Asterisk TE405P --- PRI E1 ISDN PSTN --- PRI E1 ISDN - Cisco AS5300 RAS I got 50.3kbps reliable connection after tweaking PAP2-NA, between the PAP2-NA and Asterisk, there's a FreeBSD NAT/QOS appliance. Asterisk is on cheap but high quality hardware (Intel desktop mo-bo, Intel processor). Final config: PSTN PRI E1 ISDN TE405P --- Asterisk --- TE405P AS5300 RAS When I dial from an analog line, I'm getting the same performance we would from the ISDN hooked up directly to the AS5300... Still need to test dozens of simultaneous modem calls. We still have the choice to have another AS5300 splitting the ISDN between the RAS and Asterisk, but that's our last resort. For now the production RAS is still on the other (to be deactivated ISDN). Configure Asterisk E1 stuff well and it works real well. I really wasn't expecting results this good.
