Hi, I use here mgetty+sendfax with a modem to receive and send fax messages. Is it possible to receive and send a fax with asterisk directly? I have two passive ISDN card (HFC-S chipset, one in NT mode the other in TE-mode) and a old ELSA Microlink modem via serial on my computer. The OS is FreeBSD.

Ok, what you need is Steve Underwood's package spandsp and the two asterisk applications app_rxfax and app_txfax, which is not included in spandsp nor in asterisk, but is generally to be downloaded near to spandsp. Regards, Roger.
Hello Roger, * Roger Schreiter <roger@planinternet.de> [31-08-06 14:19]:> did google for asterisk and fax show no results?yes I found spandsp but it will do everything in software. Is it not a good idea to use my modem for the fax stuff?

Hello Steve, * Steve Underwood <steveu@coppice.org> [31-08-06 23:41]:> Why would it not be a good idea to do things in software?hm, I have no idea.... Ok, I configured asterisk to receive the fax and wrote a small script which sent me the fax as pdf via email. Seems to work. Lets see how stable it is. The next days I will try to send mails with the help of a mail2fax gateway. Thx for all the answers.
