However, I received ~5 faxes last year and sent 1, so I am not the most active fax user ever. Besides, with more bandwidth and less jitter, faxes even work with plain iaxmodem[0] Nevertheless, when there is a newer opal version in debian and t38modem then has a nother FTBS-bugs, I can proabably package the version from github. Bye, Joerg [0] An analog paper scanned, converted to sound signals, then digitised again, send in small packet over the net, all by the same CPU in realtime. Receiving end analog. Amazing[1]..
