There are patents related to fax to e-mail and e-mail to fax. These are 
probably US only patents, but the picture isn't very clear. Some large 
users of Asterisk and spandsp have been chased by the patent holders. In 
light of this, I certainly don't want to integrate fax<->e-mail support 
into spandsp.
