[hylafax-users] 24 channel pri - iaxmodem - hylafax, or ??

[Andres Paglayan <it@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am starting to plan a (big for me) fax server,
24 channels on a T1 with couple of hundred DIDs.


I am torn within two setups I consider the most inexpensive and easy  
to manage.

Setup 1./

PRI  <-> Asterisk <-> (24 ports of) Iax Modem <-> Hylafax (same box)

from http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+fax I read:

-"You might also consider Hylafax which runs outside of Asterisk but  
can be bridged using IAXModem to Asterisk, this is a robust solution  
when receving calls via PRI and forwarding to iaxmodem and hylafax on  
localhost. "

But I in the same page, it also says:

-"Sadly the Hylafax/IAXmodem combination isn't a reliable solution.  
After extensive testing (July/06) the short story is that Digium  
cards don't do fax. If the remote fax machine supports ECM then  
IAXmodem works well"


Setup 2./
Callweaver with spandsp (no hylafax)
PRI <-> Callweaver <-> Scripts


So in case #1 I am puzzled by the two mutually exclusive comments,
may IAX modem just work fine with the right T1 card? if so which one  
is that card?

Case #2, stable not yet released and not enough mass testing yet.


Did anybody dealt with a scenario like this?
what was the experience?

any recommendation?


Thank you in advance for sharing your wisdom,



Andres
