[asterisk-dev] HylaFax Protocol Implementation

[Wolfgang Pichler]

Hi all,

i have started as sort of proof of concept - to implement a Fax Server
in Java which will use asterisk SendFax and ReceiveFax over the
manager interface and maybe AGI for ReceiveFax - and will provide on
the other side a hylafax compatibe protocol for the clients.

It is already working sort of - you can transmit a new fax -
everything else is still in development.

It does use the apache ftp server (http://mina.apache.org/ftpserver/)
as the ftp implemenation - overwriting functions - and adding new
functions. To communicate with asterisk i will use the asterisk-java
library.

On the filesystem i have implementated the same directory structure as
hylafax does use (so that some web apps which does work with hylafax
will have no problem) - but it is able to use more than one spool root
(you can add users - every user can have its own spool root - or users
will share a spool root). So you have the ability to host multiple
companies with one server instance.

I'd like to know if someone is interested in this development - or
someone wants to share some ideas...

best regards,
Wolfgang Pichler
