Hello, I'm trying to compile asterisk from source (1.2.18). Faxing is fairly critical for us, so in the past we've used spandsps app_rxfax and app_txfax to support faxing in asterisk. Unfortunately I can't find these applications on soft-switch.org anymore and even so I have a feeling they wouldn't patch correctly into 1.2.18. Does anyone know how to best handle faxing in 1.2.18? Is it even necessary to compile these two apps into asterisk? what about spandsp? Any advice would be appreciated, Thanks! Steve
