[Asterisk-Users] Trying to clarify ideas about spands, libtiff & FC4

[Carlos Alperin]

Good for you

Slackware 10.x (exactly 10.?) to be more accurate?
What version of Asterisk?
What version of Spandsp?
What version of Libtiff?
What version of Libtiff-devel?
And the million dollars question: Is the fax working? (Lets say more than
50% of the cases?)

Thanks for your info. I'm trying to help myself & a lot of people like me
that couldn't make the fax working.

Thanks,

Carlos Alperin
