asterisk users - Mar 2017 - Asterisk/FFA version upgrade recommendation

Hi all,

I'm needing to upgrade Asterisk from 10.x to whatever the recommended
version
is that will allow me to continue to use Fax For Asterisk.

I don't have many upgrade windows, I'd like to get the most bang for my
buck,
but I can't afford to be a beta tester on this server.

The FFA site says that it's supported by Asterisk version 12 and lower, but 
version 12 doesn't seem to be supported.  Perhaps my information is 
outdated....?

Anyway, I can't go with the spandsp route because my system listens for AMA 
events that spandsp doesn't seem to produce and I can't emulate easily.

Any recommendations would be very welcome.

Asterisk 11 is the last supported version that would do FFA, but it's
only supported for security fixes. It will go totally EOL October 25th
of this year.

Hi,

We use with success on our production the builtin fax in Asterisk 13, based
on spandsp.
We have several lawyers that use this feature each day with no major issues
to my knowledge.
However, we have enabled T38 on the entire chain and we have a carrier that
handles T38 pretty well.

Before that, we had more frequent failures.

Yours.
