Re: [hylafax-users] Hardware suggestions to get Hylafax running?

["Joshua Kinard" <jkinard@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm going to give 1.4 a shot, as it seems a lot of the docs out there on google reference it quite a bit.  I've got a T1 card in and installed in my server, though I'm still waiting on such a card for the rolm.  Trying to toy with the T1 card and zaptel driver for now.  Seems I need to configure it, though I'm not sure of the various parameters I'll need.  I'm guessing that I'll need to get that info from the people that know our phone system really well, as I believe the rolm speaks a fairly obscure dialect (I recall terms like E&M Wink and RBS being referenced).  It possible to set up something to test on using a loopback connector, though? (I have one built)

The other packages also built w/o issue (asterisk, libpri, and iax2).  I used the default module configs, since with asterisk proper, I have no idea what all the different modules do.  Going through that Oreilly PDF, so once I get the Rolm T1 in, I think I'll be able to get something figured out.

Thanks for the info!,

--Josh

Asterisk 1.2 has much more exposure with iaxmodem than Asterisk 1.4, and 
so I'd recommend 1.2 over 1.4 for your limited Asterisk usage.  That 
said, I've had problems building Zaptel 1.2 on AMD64 with modern 
kernels, and in those cases I've either downgraded the distro version to 
where the kernel was not so new (i.e. Fedora Core 5 is a good choice) or 
I had to move to Asterisk 1.4... but I've not seen enough exposure on 
1.4 to know if it's at least as good as 1.2 for iaxmodem use.
