[Freeswitch-users] [OL]Re: best way to receive FAXs

[Tahir Almas]

If you like to play with T.38 faxing,  I will recommend to try  ICTFax
http://www.ictfax.org  .  The current version is based on plivo and drupal
cms however we are working to improve the application developing interface
over freeswitch directly without using any thid party application
