[asterisk-users] RE: Bottom line on fax reception

[Steve Totaro]

Please qualify your usage.  A couple faxes a day, a couple hundred, a
couple thousand, or a couple hundred thousand?

 

Are you running asterisk and hylafax on the same machine?  What is your
TDM connectivity?

 

Hylafax uses quite a lot of CPU juice.  Anyone ever scale up a quad
T1/E1 server for faxing using asterisk and hylafax?  Must be a heck of a
server!

 

Thanks,
Steve Totaro

I gave up on the rxfax business as it never worked for me. I use
iaxmodem and hylafax and it works perfectly, every single time i use it.
inbound or outbound doesnt matter. 
I have not read about anyone using iaxmodem and hylafax having any
issues. and its fairly easy to setup. Took me about 1 hour total to get
everything installed and configured.
