[asterisk-users] rxfax, spandsp and lack of ecm

[Artifex Maximus]

Craig & Doug,

Thanks for your info. I'll do that way.

Is there any chance for implementing ecm in rcfax/spandsp? I think
using rxfax is more friendly than using a modem emulator connected
through a virtual device to a fax software. It's sound as a very
bizarre way to me. :-)

bye,
Zsolt
