Hello All, I use IAX2 as the incoming connection from my DID provider. For whatever reason, this works best for me, SIP connections lag very frequently and only have about a 50% success rate for incoming calls (they get dropped mysteriously). I'm trying to implement a fax/voice switch. I have faxdetect=both in my sip.conf, and when I use sip, it works well. However, from what I can tell, there's no such option for IAX2 connections. Any ideas on what I can do here, or am I out of luck? Thanks, Cody -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

However, in Asterisk 10, there is a channel-agnostic FAX detection function that can be applied to any channel type, so at a minimum that is one way to solve your problem. -- Kevin P.

Saves a lot of fart-arsing around. (Providers are now beginning to issue numbers beginning with a 0, thus requiring the STD code to be dialled even for a call within the same town. Would be ideal for a fax line.) -- AJS Answers come *after* questions.
