[Asterisk-Users] Squished faxes with txfax

[Scott Eisert]

Hello,

I have been getting squished faxes very reliably when sending through Asterisk 
using txfax.  It looks as if all horizontal white space has been removed.  
Interestingly it is perfectly repeatable, which seems to rule out timing 
related issues.

My configuration is:
Asterisk SVN-branch-1.2-r7337M
spandsp-0.0.2pre21 ( though I have tried a 0.0.3 snapshot as well as 
0.0.2pre25 )
libtiff 3.8.0-3

I am sending the fax out from Asterisk over a E1 to a Cisco 5350, which then 
is sending t.38 out to the terminating carrier.  The fax completes every 
attempt, so it doesn't appear to be IP related, and as I mentioned before, 
the fax on the receiving end always looks almost exactly the same.

Also, if I send a fax with a vertical bar down one side the image is not 
squished nearly as much as something with just text (like an invoice) which 
will be about 1/3 the size of the original.

I have also tried sending faxes using iaxmodem and HylaFax to Asterisk, which 
gave perfect results about 1 in 30 tries, with most failures resulting in 
incomplete page.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
