[asterisk-bugs] [JIRA] (ASTERISK-17180) [patch] [new feature] support for T.38 pass-through

[Matt Jordan (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-17180?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=221597#comment-221597 ] 

Matt Jordan commented on ASTERISK-17180:
----------------------------------------

Unfortunately, {{chan_h323}} has been unsupported for a long time and was marked deprecated. Due to there being a supported replacement channel driver, {{chan_ooh323}}, {{chan_h323}} was removed from the Asterisk source tree in Asterisk 13:

As such, this issue will be closed out as "Won't Fix". I recognize that this issue has been open for a long time, and as a project, we're sorry that the patch attached this issue didn't receive more attention. We've made some changes in the way the patch process works to try and alleviate the issue of patches not receiving attention; for more information, see [Patch Contribution Process|https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Patch+Contribution+Process] on the Asterisk wiki. If you still need H323 support and are using Asterisk, I'd recommend switching to {{chan_ooh323}}, as it has a dedicated module maintainer who can help with patches to that channel driver.

> Using already done work on behalf of ASTERISK-1231380 and ASTERISK-1510285, I'm going to prepare T.38 pass-though support for chan_h323.
> This includes:
> 1) T.38 capabilities negotiation (as done in chan_sip)
> 2) SIP<->H323 T.38 pass-through
> 3) support for RxFax(), TxFax() applications.
> I have already a patch that works with hylafax + t38modem + RxFax()/TxFax().
> I need to make more tests before posting it here.
> I will prepare patch(es) for 1.6.0.21 (we use it in production custom system).
> I can provide support in case if anyone interested has issues during tests.
> However I think I won't be able to provide patches for other Asterisk versions due to lack of time. But it shouldn't be difficult to merge to other Asterisk version for anyone interested because chan_h323 is not heavily developed during recent years.
> Please let me know if anybody is interested in testing/using/reviewing.
