Dear Kristian, here in Germany ISDN is still one of the most common ways to access phone networks. As AstLinux already supports mIsdn it should not be that hard to implement Fax support. Perhaps you can give me a short advice on how to set up spandsp (or any other asterisk addon tha requrires source rebuild). Here is a part of the spandsp documentation: "Next, put app_rxfax.c, app_txfax.c and Makefile.patch in your Asterisk apps directory. Use the command: patch <Makefile.patch within the apps directory, to patch your make file so it will build the new application. ... Now rebuild and install Asterisk (or rebuild and just copy the two new applcation .so files)." So I guess the easiest way is to set up the same version of aserisk on a full featured linux box, (x)compile it and to place the .so files on the AstLinux box. Is libtiff and libxml2 already part of AstLinux?
