Cisco / Linksys SPA8000 Opinions
Hi, we're looking at getting a Cisco / Linksys SPA8000 for T.38 fax termination (with FreeSWITCH configured for T.38 Passthru). I know from past experience that T.38 code can vary wildly in it's quality from gateway to gateway - so does anyone have any experience with / views of this particular one? Cheers Mike

I'm with Brian on this one. I've only seen heartache and pain from people who've used this device. Frankly, I've had much better success just using the little ones like the SPA-112 and the SPA-3102. -MC On Fri, Apr 12, 2013 at 6:52 AM, Brian West <brian@freeswitch.org> wrote:

The SPA3102 is okay for a basic FXO, but it has problems with echo even with the latest firmware because of the design of the hardware. I haven't personally tried the Obi110, but I've heard positive results out of it.

Michael, would you mind sharing the config you have found most successful for the SPA-112? I have one working, but I think it could be better.

I know from past experience that T.38 code can vary wildly in it's quality from gateway to gateway - so does anyone have any experience with / views of this particular one? You can try this guide I have created for sipx systems: http://www.drouillard.biz/blog/sipxecs-and-cisco-spa8800-and-spa8000/
We have used Appia and Voice Innovations as voip providers and have had pretty good stats. We also use t38modem with hylafax but find there are a few numbers you just cannot fax to. -- Regards -------------------------------------- Gerald Drouillard Technology Architect Drouillard & Associates, Inc. http://www.Drouillard.biz
