[asterisk-users] Rxfax and Txfax on Asterisk 1.4

[Ardjan Zwartjes]

That's not nessecerily true, if you install iaxmodem and hylafax on your
asterisk machine you'll use IAX for the internal communication, but
faxes can go out and come in on SIP or whatever you like. 
One thing that's important to mention here: We get unpredictable results
if the fax is transmitted entirely over VOIP, if the fax passes a
regular telephony channel once it works fine but if it's purely VOIP,
transmission errors occur. This is probably a timing problem, but we
haven't been able to solve it yet, still the results are much better
than what we achieved using rx- and txfax.

Kind regards,
Ardjan.

This is a solution if your provider is using IAX, but we are stuck with
SIP.

I find it surprising that txfax and rxfax not compiling under 1.4, but
oh well.

Warm Regards,

> AFAIK the current recommendation is to use HylaFax with something
called iaxmodem.

After having been through a lot of problems with RxFax and TxFax I
completely agree with this statement. Allthough the initial
configuration is a bit complicated, once you have this running you'll
get far better reliability.
