spandsp doesn't try to reimplement all of HylaFAX. It reimplements only one piece - the T.4/T.30 code. I have a half implemented "spandsp as class 1 fax modem" which I put aside. People are using spandsp happily for things like fax to e-mail. Introducing HylaFAX would really slow things down. That said, I'd really like to complete the class 1 modem interface, and make HylaFAX an option for people.
Well, I was thinking of HylaFAX running on another box, with some type of IAX2 "virtual FAX modem" client running on the same machine, using IAX2 to communicate to Asterisk. That would remove the CPU usage from the Asterisk box and put it where it belongs.
I'm curious how you think "HylaFAX would really slow things down", if you mean something other that CPU usage? I'd see adding HylaFAX to the mix as adding well-tested and reliable ECM, MR, MMR and other protocol support on top of the virtual modem you've already implemented, as well as supporting alternative FAX origination methods (email, print, etc.).
