[Freeswitch-users] Spandsp mulated modems inbound/no /dev/FS* device?

[Anita Hall]

Hi Alex

Did you get the answer to your first question ? Did you succeed in using
the emulated modem option for taking fax calls to hylafax ?

I put the following in spandsp.conf.xml and got /dev/FS[0-4] devices as
soft links to /dev/pts/[4-8]. My freeswitch is running as root user so I
did not face the issue you did.

 <modem-settings>
        <param name="total-modems"    value="5"/>
</modem-settings>

What next? Could you point me to some doc in hylafax?

(And before Steve lashes out at me again, I must clarify, I do not want to
just play around, but my boss is clueless and wants me to evaluate hylafax
:()

regards,
Anita
