Hi all, I'm having some issues getting mod_opal installed - my intention is to use its IAX2 provision with iaxmodem and hylafax to get faxing through hylafax via a SIP trunk to a Mitel 3300 acting as an ISDN gateway. It just seems it does not want to compile - I'm using the Sirius release of PTLIB and OPAL, but it did also have a go with Lalande. So my first question would be - is mod_opal maintained any more? Or is there and equivalent "sipmodem" project that would replace iaxmodem? Cheers Alex -- This message is intended only for the addressee and may contain confidential information.

I wasn't aware that IAX2 was in working order in opal/mod_opal. Have you verified this?

A few months back on a CentOS 5.6 x86 box I built ptlib 2.6.8, opal 3.6.8 and mod_opal compiled fine. Which distro are you using and what are the errors you are seeing? Regards, Patrick

Patrick No, I presumed from the Wiki that it supports IAX2, as it says on the page. Is this not the case? If so, is there any other way to hook Hylafax up to Asterisk for normal (not t.38) faxing, eg via ISDN or POTS?

I wiped my git source tree and started again. It built. However the buildopal.sh does not work. It pulls the trunk of ptlib which is too new. I had to get them and build by hand. Also the Wiki docs are out of date. Lalande is not new enough to build mod_opal, at least for me.

As far as I know IAX2 is unsupported/does not work with FreeSWITCH. Hence my question.

My old Asterisk box has ISDN and sends and receives faxes fine: ISDN -> chan_capi -> asterisk -> iaxmodem -> hylafax But you do realize this is the FreeSWITCH mailing list right? Since you are referring to Asterisk :) If you are interested in FreeSWTICH & sending/receiving faxes then have a look at: http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_spandsp [snip]

I never used buildopal.sh. Sorry I forgot to mention that. That script indeed seems to do the wrong thing.

I used Sirius (ptlib 2.8/opal 3.8) and could build mod_opal fine. Iirc someone on this list mentioned he was successfully using ptlib 2.10 and opal 3.10 (the Luyten release). Regards, Patrick

Patrick, The Wiki page for mod_opal seems to suggest otherwise but does not show how to configure it, which is why I'm confused. Anyone else know about it?

Do'h! Of course I meant FreeSwitch!

Really has to be Hylafax, as we need desktop faxing, not via email. We have a large user base using WHFC and some using Excel macros to send faxes! It looks like I may have to look at using t38modem and gatewaying t38 to audio towards the ISDN.

Yes.

OK, good to know.
