The Hylafax / Iaxmodem is a good, reliable combination. I have work with a
company that competes with eFax using the Hylafax / Iaxmodem combination for
termination and also soon for origination.

We would like to do something similar to efax, where we can send mail to
send fax or something similar. I tried to install Asterisk Fax
http://asterfax.sourceforge.net/ but was not able to compile it with
Asterisk 1.4.19.2, I have read that they recommend Asterisk 1.2.X and

older

Not necessarily - if you set your iaxmodems to only produce G4 encoded tiffs
you can then use something like c42pdf http://c42pdf.ffii.org/ which
essentially copies the tiff image data into a pdf container. Lightning
fast, quality is preserved, very little memory usage and very little cpu. I
believe that the tiff2pdf binary in later versions of libtiff does a similar
thing.

iaxmodem is not CPU intensive. 100 of them aren't. You can put that
many on a typical modern machine and have them all faxing simultaneously
and not see a dent in CPU due to iaxmodem.

Lee.

Hylafax. Iaxmodem doesn't do much good by itself.

Probably has more to do with PDFs than tiffs too. I always go with PDF.

Thanks,

Then check out Hylafax and IAXmodem. Hylafax has alot of client apps
too. As I said before, it is CPU intensive, so you may need separate
machines to handle fax. A direct crossover cable for network is the
best to eliminate any latency.

Thanks,
Steve Totaro

There is hylafax and hylafax+ both of which have sets of documentation - also the iaxmodem mailing list and hylafax mailing lists
regularly have help for issues encountered.

Are you getting stuck on compiling or configuring? On hylafax, iaxmodem, or asterisk?

We use it for fax servers and customers. It works very well, so if you can be a bit more specific we can probably give you pointers

There are some tutorials under freepbx I think, as well as well as google being your friend
This was the first one I saw
