[Asterisk-Dev] HylaFAX and spandsp

[Steve Underwood]

Hi all,

Some people are happy with the spandsp soft-FAX the way it is. Some 
people want to see its FAX modem work with HylaFAX. In an attempt to 
please the entire universe, a class 1 FAX modem interface for spandsp is 
now on the way. I just made my first FAX call between a spandsp without 
HylaFAX, and a spandsp with HylaFAX.

Now I have a question. What should this look like as a complete 
application? The current applications which allow use of mu soft-FAX, 
rxfax and txfax, are transient applications. What form should a soft-FAX 
modem for HylaFAX take? Should I follow the same transient application 
format, launching a copy of HylaFAX's faxgetty as needed? If so, what 
about the FAX sending side. Should I be building a persistent 
application with a persistent copy of HylaFAX attached? HylaFAX experts, 
please tell me what will suit HylaFAX best, as I am no HylaFAX expert.

Regards,
Steve
