I would believe you get a single license, and that license is good for a single instance on a single machine. Installing it to another machine would require you to transfer it, making the other machine no longer valid to use it on. Otherwise you'd see people installing 100s of VMs and installing a single FFA license on all of them :) Leif Madsen. ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

The reason I ask is I've got a few different clients that want to test Fax for Asterisk. I was planning on buying the Free FFA license using my digium account, but I don't want to get locked out after installing it on my first client's machine, and I was hoping to avoid creating multiple digium.com user accounts if it was possible. Oh well, if it's not possible, it's not a big deal to create the multiple accounts, even if I'm the only one that will ever use them... -- Thanks, --Warren Selby http://www.selbytech.com ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

No, version 1.0.7 is the latest version of benchfax. The program takes steps to handle the problems that occur when the tests cannot be performed on a particular CPU, but apparently in this case those measures are not triggered. You say it has stopped at different points as you've run different tests; can you verify that? If it always stops at 'nocona', that would mean one particular type of problem, but if it stops at various different places, then that would point to something very different. -- Kevin P.

Thanks for the reply. I have three examples that follow. The first I ended after 11 minutes. I got as far as nocona, then the hang. The next run had me down to c3 in 8 minutes, before hanging there. I let it run for another 8 minutes or so. Finally, I let the thing run for 24 minutes and only got to nocona again.

There are 15 CPU flavors being tested, and each one will take 3-5 seconds to complete; certainly no more than one minute, on an otherwise idle system. As you can see from your 'time' output, the process really didn't use very much CPU time at all, something must have gone wrong and it is 'waiting' for something to complete... but I wouldn't be able to guess what would be off the top of my head. If you can, run it again under 'strace', capture the output, compress it with gzip or bzip2 and email it to me directly; that may give us a clue what it was doing. -- Kevin P.

Hi All, Sorry to hijack this post but I am confused. What is the advantage of using this Digium Fax For Asterisk product when you can use Asterisks' 1.6.x module app_fax or Asterisks' 1.4.x agx-ast-addons with the app_txfax and app_rxfax modules?

Re: [asterisk-users] Free Fax for asterisk
Hi, it was was my fault, there is no retry ... sorry to bother you. @David: I wasn`t very conviced about Spandsp, after trying several versions it worked, but not well. We are sending faxes via SIP. When sending faxes from our 1.6 Asterisk to our 1.4 Asterisk 50%+ Faxes failed. T.38 worked once then stopped I never found the right Asterisk-App_fax-Spandsp-dialplan setup again. I event patched the app_fax, which contained errors, just to get it working. Although I have to admit I installed it on our other Asterisk 1.4.17-BRIstuffed (Spandsp 0.0.4-test6) and it works just fine. I just tried Digiums solution to test if it´s better and it is, all the testfaxes went through. T.38 worked instantly. Configuration was pretty easy and well documented. I think $50 per channel is not too much money either, just the support...well there is none. hope i could help Markus David Klaverstyn wrote: Hi All, Sorry to hijack this post but I am confused.

You already claimed that this isn't actually the case. I will tell you that the hardware fax appliances I have used, commonly called fax machines will retry a fax three times before giving up, at least if they get a busy as opposed to a different kind of failure. ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

You don't say what any of the errors were, so it's hard to tell whether you encountered bugs or just had configuration issues. As to fax over SIP, you cannot use a compressed voip codec. It must be G.711 and you must send faxes no faster than 9600bps. You should also definitely turn off vad on any intervening voip appliances. With the 1.6.0 series, regular app_fax, T.38, and the 0.0.6 SpanDSP series I'm receiving near 99% faxes from real business customers. ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
