Damn. I'm using spandsp0.0.2pre15 and asterisk 1.0.7 with a single span card (US PRI) and I can get it to work about 85% of the time on a single 1 paged fax. I count a failed fax if any of the tiff images don't look like the original.
I tried sending thru a 15 page fax. All 15 pages were received in the tiff image, but every 2 or 3 pages, it would seem as if the image skipped an inch. So instead of being 8.5 x 11, it was 8.5 x 10 (or 9). -Matthew > From: Craig Guy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion > <[email protected]> > Date: Wed, 27 Apr 2005 07:51:22 +0800 > To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion > <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Alternatives to SpanDSP?? > > I agree with Steve on this, am piloting Spandsp 0.0.2pre15 on asterisk 1.0.7 > with a TE405p, euroisdn.
