Hi, Having problems with getting either RxFax or FaxReceive to compile. Running Asterisk 1.4 on CentOS 5. Does anyone have the free/open source executables that you could send me? Thanks for your help! P. S.: TxFax and FaxSend would also be appreciated.

I have it running on * 1.4.19. You can get it on the internet, .so and an intaller that checks for dependencies. ------Mensaje original------ De: Doug Remitente: asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com Para: asterisk-users at lists.digium.com Responder a: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Asunto: Re: [asterisk-users] Faxing: Anyone have a compiled executable?

When I was troubleshooting things, I started recording 100% of faxes, and then just blowing them away after a few days with a cron. If I wanted to go back and troubleshoot a particular customer, I could filter by their calls and listen to what was going on. It was amazing how lousy some of the faxes were and it was obviously the customer's fault. I never would have been able to tell that without listening to the audio recordings of the fax transmission. In other cases, it was robodialers wardialing the world, and they weren't even sending a fax. I discovered I had to be VERY careful how I calculated error rate. If you count by absolute successes and failures, the early failure rate looked awful. This was directly correlated to the customers with crap connections retrying the same faxes that were never going to succeed over and over again. When I instead sorted successes and failures by sending phone number, I got very high 90s success rate. This of course, also requires that you're keeping logging in a way that makes this kind of diagnosis possible. Hopefully you have good records.

yeah, but what about internal_timing = yes in asterisk.conf yes or no for faxing? Or is this option irrelevant for app_fax/spandsp ? 2010/1/8 William Stillwell (Lists) <william.stillwell-lists at ablebody.net>:> In version prior to 1.6, timing is very critical for faxing, and the use of > a timing source improves fax sending/receiving., and if no timing source was > used, then you would use zt_dummy, but I am not sure how reliable that is or > was.. > > And from what I am reading, v1.6 is far better with faxing, and I would > assume the res_timing_*.so is an improved version of the later zt_dummy > timing source. > > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com > [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Kristijan > Vrban > Sent: Friday, January 08, 2010 4:16 PM > To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion > Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Faxing: Anyone have a compiled executable? > >> On a well set up system you should be able to send or receive those >> pages all day.
