Hello everyone- I recently read the thread entitled "Faxing Success Rate on PRI" which dealt with Asterisk/HylaFax/IAXmodem. I'm successfully using this 'recipe' in a few instances on systems with only a couple of analog lines all the way up to a full PRI worth of Iaxmodems.
However, I'm finding that I'll need to scale upwards in the coming months and would like to know if anyone has experience with a system containing more than 1 PRI, 5+ PRIs or even a full DS3? Are there any limitations of the Asterisk/Hylafax/Iaxmodem set that would prevent it from performing on a scale of this magnitude? A system like this would obviously be fault tolerant and have backup mechanisms in place, but I'm simply wondering if it would be possible to use this much connectivity on a single platform. I've also noticed that IAXmodem is compiled statically against a version of spandsp included with the iaxmodem source. For a large installation, would it be better to compile iaxmodem dynamically to reduce the per-instance size of each iaxmodem? Or, would it be better to simply throw more RAM at it? Are there any concurrency issues when receiving a large number of faxes on a system using IAXmodems? I can only assume the system load would increase in a linear fashion for each active/inuse iaxmodem on the system, not including the addtional processing of faxrcvd/FaxDispatch after reception. All ideas/thoughts/experiences/etc welcome! Marshall
