[Asterisk-Users] FAX, IAX and *....Maybe I'm dreaming...:-)

[Steve Kann]

Hi,

It would be great if the IAX protocol will be able to tranfer fax data 
(even
converted in another format) between Asterisk boxes, using low bandwidth
codecs like GSM.
I know that this is possible only with the G.711 now (passing faxes 
using
the audio stream), but.... maybe in the future...some native support 
will
permit this.

I suppose that with SteveU's fax receive stuff, it should be possible 
to convert the fax to an image, and then send the images along in IAX 
image frame types..

I.e.  AST_FRAME_IMAGE/AST_FORMAT_PNG.

You'd need to figure out how to get the call to filter through the fax 
stuff, such that the multiple audio frames on one side ended up as a 
set of Image frames on the other..
