[Asterisk-Users] FAX difference IAXModem / Hylafax and spandspapp_rxfax

[Craig Guy]

Can Hylafax be made to produce ccitt G4 instead of ccitt G3 encoded images? 
The G4 tiffs are smaller than G3 and are much more efficient to convert to 
pdf.  I was able to patch spandsp to produce G4 encoded tiffs and was 
wondering if Hylafax could be made to do the same as I'd really like ECM 
support.
