I'm just wondering here, in our community... Why not HylaFax for Fax solutions?<br><br>I'm not saying bad about the big efforts on app_tx and app_rx with spandsp.<br><br>But as me and many other asterisk users, we find out that Hylafax+IAXModem+Asterisk is very reliable.
<br><br>And from what i've been testing and reading, Hylafax is an extremely powerful:<br><br>"HylaFAX is an enterprise-class system for sending and receiving facsimiles as well as for sending alpha-numeric pages.
<p>The software is designed around a client-server architecture.
Fax modems may reside on a single machine on a network and clients can
submit an outbound job from any other machine on the network. Client
software is designed to be lightweight and easy to port.
</p><p>HylaFAX is designed to be very robust and reliable. The fax
server is designed to guard against unexpected failures in the
software, in the configuration, in the hardware and in general use.
HylaFAX can support multiple modems and a heavy traffic load."

Of course, we the community, could improve and simplify the integration and documentation, as well as the process handled currently by hy-email2fax:<br><br><a href="http://wpkg.org/email2fax/index.php/Download">http://wpkg.org/email2fax/index.php/Download
</a><br><br>Is a bad idea to bet on this solution?<br><br>My apologies, if someone thinks that i'm complaining about app_tx and app_rx, that's not the case!<br><br>What I mean is that the Real Enterprise Fax Server is not Asterisk, but some one had done it already and it's widely used Hylafax...
<br><br>Please let me know if i'm missing something on this email.<br><br>Best regards to this great Community,<br><br>Marco Mouta<br>dCAP<br>
