Fax and Freeswitch: What is the status, what works?
hi, because we do not get tired of testing and playing a lot with the beloved fs, we now arrived at the fax feature :-) i am not sure if the docs are up to date or if there was a lot of development in the meantime. therefore i would like to ask, what is possible and what will come in the near future. we are using fs, socket outbound and php and would like to make something like fax to mail as an additional service. is t38 supported? can i pass incoming faxes over the same socket as calls? can i convert faxes into pdf? is fax over sip reliable (as far as i have heard, under asterisk fax is nothing one should use)? and so on, and so on.... i would be very happy to hear some user experiences with fs and fax. if it seems, that we can use fax with over socket outbound, we will do hardcore testing ;-) thanks, dennis
Right now this page is up-to-date with the latest info: http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_fax T.38 is not (yet) supported. -MC On Tue, Dec 2, 2008 at 9:40 AM, Dennis <odermann@googlemail.com> wrote:

Can you (or someone) elaborate on this? Maybe the answer really is no, but what about support for UDPTL, pass through, etc? It looks like Sofia should be good to go... -- Kristian Kielhofner http://blog.krisk.org http://www.submityoursip.com http://www.astlinux.org http://www.star2star.com
