[Asterisk-Users] Alternatives to SpanDSP??

[Julian J. M.]

Hi Steve,

I sent a mail to this list a week ago regarding exactly this issue.
Spandsp doesn't work for me (getting <200rows tiffs), but sending and
receiving faxes through a FXS-FXO bridge (a TDM11B) works without
problems.

My motherboard is based an Aopen AK33 (VIA686a chipset, KT133, 700Mhz
Athlon). I've disabled USB, 2nd IDE, VGA interrupt (runing without X),
sound.. I've also tweaked PCI settings in the BIOS, testing each time,
but I don't know what can be wrong. Here is some more info:
