James, That is amazing details. I can use all of this. Thank you for sharing.
I am assuming you installed res_fax from repository? *yum install asterisk18-res_fax_digium.i386* And how did you install SpanDSP? Is there a guide you used? I am aiming for multi-channels fax so the digium one won't do for me as it's one channel limit like you mentioned. I probably don't need T.38 but hey it won't hurt to have it.
