Re: [hylafax-users] Faxing over VOIP?

[andrea.lanza@xxxxxxxxxxx]

My scenario involves 2 server on the same private Lan, so we have in
general no problem at all about latency, delay and bandwith.


One si the asterisk box itself, the other is the Hylafax server. In the
beginning they were One (religion dosn't matter here...)


Then I divided them, becouse I need one application server with IGSuite
(Isogest) installed. The connection between


Isogest and Hylafax server on another server is really very slow (it
shouldn't, but it is, in three different installation....)


So I moved the hylafax server on the same box where is the apache /php
/Isogest server installed.


You should care of allowing only slinear codec on the peer definition of
the iaxmodem peer


You should care of specifing a different port for each iaxmodem in the
iaxmodem file


All our customers don't have a very big amount of incoming/outgoing faxes,
let's say about 1 hundred per day


But they are "important" faxes, technical (legal) documents about
installation setup.


They are happy, they don't loose any faxes.





Anyway, when you fax a page from an old physical machine, and the fax is
received from an old physical fax machine,


and you have your printed page about the succesfull transmission, can you
say if on  the other side is not present


a bad guy who destroy the incoming fax ?


So what you mean about 100% reliability ? I consider reliable a fax
server/device who send my faxes, and if for any reason


it doesn't succed it alerts you, no more the this.


So I consider reliable iaxmodem as any other physical device, but of course
I could be wrong.

All of the scenarios I listed involve a VoIP link, IAX between the
Asterisk and iaxmodem client.  The only difference is that the VoIP link
is within your control.  It's not traveling over the public Internet.
To claim that faxing over VoIP is simply unreliable is simply spreading
misinformation.  Faxing over a VoIP link can be reliable, you simply
have to have control over that link.  This is the same information found
in the iaxmodem file you quoted.

This statement "as-is" is misleading and incorrect.  I've tried to
illustrate how it is misleading and incorrect.  See above.
