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 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If you're going full time hosted fax you will ultimately end up buying a t.38/sip gateway like an Audiocodes Mediant.

Whats making you sad? Cost? performance, end customer compatibility?> 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 ?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> > Does it really matter whether I use Asterisk or FreeSWITCH ?Cant see why it would but if you use iaxmodem then Asterisk is needed for the IAX interface.

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.
