[asterisk-users] Oddity with FFA

[Steve Underwood]

Hi Mike,

If the sending machine keeps trying it might be the call has been hung 
up by asterisk before its own acknowledgement message has finished being 
sent. There have been bugs like this in the past, and people can be 
pretty casual about making changes which hang up aggressively. A FAX 
system should really wait for the final DCN message before 
disconnecting, to ensure both sides have seen what they need. Spandsp 
does that, but I am not sure about FFA.

Regards,
Steve
