Hi, Bruce!
Yes, it's been 7 years, but I'm setting up a FreeSWITCH system for a local non-profit, and part of this is FAX.
I have been using your fsfax script at my company for a long time, and they just keep working, so I never made any changes.
When I was on your GitHub repository (https://github.com/bwmarrin/fsfax) I noticed the code hasn't been updated for 6 years. Is this because:

1. It's already perfect?
2. You updated it, but forgot to push?
3. You found something better?

Let me know which, so I can decide which FAX solution to use.

Have you done any performance testing? How many concurrent faxes can you do?


Yes, in Lua you can do transfer to FAX_DETECT extension. It's fairly simple. If you choose to go that route, I can help you to set it up.

Try api_hangup_hook for post call processing. It gives you whole lots of information. You can also save additional parameters in channel variables and access them there in hangup hook. 

 
No, I haven't done any performance tests.  I'm not sure how I would do that either :).  I'm pretty new to FreeSWITCH and I've never used LUA before I started this project so all and all.. I'm mostly clueless.     There's probably a number of best-practices I just haven't read or learned about yet.
 
Right now I'm just trying to get it to log everything and be as reliable as possible :)   I am curious about how to do the extension transfer stuff in LUA.  Everything I learn at this point is a big bonus to making this work best. 
 
Right now all the post call processing is just happening in the same LUA script.  I do call "hangup" after the fax is received though.  Is there a big advantage to splitting the script up into two scripts? One for the call and another for post call stuff (logging, emailing, etc). ?
