ax.

The downside of rx_fax is that you need to compile it into asterisk.

The downside of iaxmodem is that (to my knowledge) you can't easilly implement an auto-answer/detect fax/voice/ auto attendant/voicemail system. The channel must be dedicated to faxing, and that's that. This may or may not be an issue for you though.

The last fax setup I did was for a small 2-person office where they had an existing fax machine that answered, listened for the remote fax squawk, if it didn't get it, then it rung the phones daisy-chained to it, and if they didn't answer it went to answering machine. I implemented this in asterisk fairly easilly with rx_fax. I'm not sure if you can do that with iaxmodem.


Another question along these lines : How does everyone one fax detection on a sip channel? The only thing I've found is NvFaxDetect - anyone know of anything else?

thanks
