   Dear Steve,

   I can't understand from your mail can I use SpanDSP or not?

   Today we try this fax-modem:
   http://www.openh323.org/t38.html
   The problem now is that we can't start it with HylaFAX.
   

   Best Regards,
   Miroslav Nachev

SU> Hi Miroslav,

SU> It sounds like you don't really understand what T.38 is. You need some
