Am I correct to infer that using app_fax.so is no longer recommended and
that res_fax.so with res_fax_spandsp.so -OR- res_fax_digium.so is now
the way to go?
That is correct. app_fax is deprecated (and that is why it is marked as
"don't build" by default), and res_fax plus a technology module
(res_fax_spandsp or res_fax_digium) is the replacement for it. All of
the work that the Digium team has done improving T.38 negotiation and
interoperability has gone into res_fax, not app_fax. Users of Asterisk
1.8.x should only choose to build app_fax if they have a specific need
for it (and if that's the case we'd like to know what the need is so we
can ensure that res_fax can satisfy it). Users of older Asterisk
releases will have app_fax by default (since res_fax was not included in
those versions), but if they want to use Digium's res_fax_digium module
they can download it along with res_fax and use them instead.
Gotcha. So, 1.6 users who install FFA get res_fax and res_fax_digium.
Presumably, 1.6 users could also combine res_fax and res_fax_spandsp?
Steve - Will compiling the latest version of SpanDSP on a 1.6 system
result in a res_fax_spandsp.so module?
