Asterisk's fax support has two backends. One of them is FFA mentioned
above. The other uses Steve Underwood's SpanDSP library and is
completely free (speech, beer, whatever). You don't want to pay from the
proprietary one, use the free one.
Naturally those cheap bastards at Digium wanted so badly that you buy
their FFA that they didn't bother writing the SpanDSP backend. Hmm...
well, it seems they actually did. Well, in that case they surely don't
include it in the binary packages they produce. Hmmm... they actually
do.
That is not to say IAXMODEM is not a cool project on its own. Certainly
HylaFax+IAXModem is the right tool for certain scenarios, and a useful
tool generally.
Cheers,
