[asterisk-users] Asterisk IAXmodem HylaFax?

[Colin Anderson]

Actually lately I have been poking around my Visual Studio .NET IDE and
ruminating about writing a client since the FTP protocol HylaFAX uses is
quite well documented; the other advantage with using VS instead of Python
or gtk or whatever is you can leverage the excellent Microsoft ODBC/DAO
plumbing for address books, logging and the like (and a consistient Windows
GUI, which Cypheus for example has in spades, it's just too bad it's so
flaky)

The Zetafax client essentially uses port 139 and submits the .tif to a
Windows share so I don;t think it would be really possible to modify it,
interesting idea though.

I agree with you that all public HylaFAX clients are not good.

My guess is that you could probably do some work to get that slick 
Zetafax client to work with HylaFAX instead of the Zetafax server.  
Years ago I did similar work to get the RelayFax client to work with 
HylaFAX.
