Summary:                    [patch] SendFAX/ReceiveFAX
Description: 
sendfax/receivefax applications are replacement for well known txfax/rxfax.
These are based on the same idea and also use SpanDSP GPL library by Steve
Underwood.

I hope these can be included in basic Asterisk distribution (or to addons)
just to make it easier for people obtaining fax support for Asterisk. Also,
this implementation fixes couple of bugs in applications which prevented me
using txfax/rxfax out of the box.

Notes:
* receivefax does not allow specifying %d in the file name. To me, it is
up to dialplan to form really unique file name.
* debug and answering/calling mode options are specified in a way
different from txfax/rxfax

The current offering is only applications code for fax
origination/termination. T.38 termination support requires further changes
to the Asterisk core, beyond those made for T.38 passthrough (those
additions, in 1.4, were intended to put al the infrastructure in place, but
some bits were missed). T.38 gateway really requires a new, though not very
complex, application. The basic gateway stuff is in spandsp.
