Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk Vs FreeSWITCH for Fax

2012-05-03 Thread Bryant Zimmerman
We handle tousands of faxes a day with asterisk 1.8 and spandsp but we 
dictate what ATA the customers can use. Most of the faxes come in and are 
processed as e-fax from asterisk.. It really comes down to how good are 
your black art skills when It comes to fax and source providers channels 
clean for fax. 

Thanks

Bryant

I am presuming you do mean T.30 (standard fax protocol but people don't mention 
it much) not T.38 as I am not familiar with that so much. Whats making you sad? 
Cost? performance, end customer compatibility?

When I was doing fax I used Hylafax+ & asterisk & iaxmodem for sending / 
receiving thousands of faxes using analogue lines, I would have thought E1 
would be almost perfect

Cant see why it would but if you use iaxmodem then Asterisk is  needed for the 
IAX interface.

Many people handling hundreds of thousands of FAXes per day would 
disagree with that assessment.

Does it really matter whether I use Asterisk or FreeSWITCH ?

[asterisk-users] Asterisk Vs FreeSWITCH for Fax

2012-05-03 Thread Anita Hall
Hi

We are using Spandsp + FreeSWITCH for receiving Fax over T.30 E1/PRI and
the results make us sad :(

I suppose Asterisk also has the option of using spandsp or a commercial
version from Commetrex. What are your experiences with receiving Fax on
spandsp or commetrex on Asterisk ?

Does it really matter whether I use Asterisk or FreeSWITCH ?

regards,
Anita
