[asterisk-users] dahdi wcb4xxp and fax

Hi all,

I wanted to switch from my current setup (mISDN) to the native dahdi with
b410p support (wcb4xp). All works fine for normal phone calls but not for
faxing. Faxes are distorted, if arriving at all, and hylafax logs the usual
bad stuff (HDLC frame not byte-oriented.)

Our setup uses a digium b410p card with asterisk 1.6, latest libpri and
dahdi, hylafax with iaxmodem, and all this on 1 machine.

chan_dahdi.conf contains:
faxdetect=both

When receiving a fax call, hylafax (iaxmodem) answers the call after the
obligatory wait of 3 seconds (fax detection) but to me it seems that echo
cancellation is still being done.

Any pointers on this or workarounds? We're back to our old misdn setup for
now ;)

Here's some output from "dahdi show channel 1" (the one that had the fax
connection going), i cut out some non-related stuff :
