[Asterisk-Users] Re: Asterisk in production as a fax server, anyone?

[Boris Bakchiev]

Most of the problems like these for me are gone since I started using
iaxmodem+hylafax combination.

Hylafax has ECM capability which just tells the other side to resend the
affected frames (not the whole page).

With the latest 4.2.5.5 hylafax I even have color support :) Not that I
probably needed.

Give it a try.
