asterisk users - Nov 2008 - Setting up to reveive faxes.

Hey, all.  When I last was heavily into Asterisk (1.0.x), setting up to
receive faxes was, well, a PITA, what with having to patch the Asterisk
install with various driver patches and this, that, and the other.

Is that still true?  Is there a fax HOWTO out there that reflects Asterisk
1.4.x?

Thanks!

Not sure if you mean IP faxing or TDM faxing, but I don't think you'll
need to do any patching.  In general check out:

For IP faxes, check out the wiki here:

AFAIK: 1.4.x can't terminate IP faxes - only pass through, while 1.6.x
can pass through and terminate with the help of spandsp.
