Hello,

We have a commercial client who wants automatic fax detection, but the existing functionality in Asterisk doesn’t quite meet their needs. We’re willing to pay for a patch to do the following:

1. Limit the automatic fax detection to the first X seconds of a call. X
could be defined system-wide in sip.conf or in an Asterisk dialplan variable.

2. Enable or disable fax detection for individual calls. This could be set with an Asterisk dialplan variable.

3. The patch needs to work with chan_sip on Asterisk 13 and above.

If you’re able to help with this please let me know so we can discuss pricing and your Asterisk development experience.

If anyone has ideas for other places to advertise this request let me know!

Thanks very much,

  • I would suggest http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz because that is the commercial list (you have currently posted to the “non-commercial discussion” list), and http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-dev

  • Hi Antony,

    Thanks for the suggestion. I didn’t get a response on my request to join the asterisk-dev mailing list. I’ll try asterisk-biz as well.

  • Hi Naveen,

    Yes indeed, Asterisk does have automatic fax detection. The chan_sip version just doesn’t have all the features we need, namely the ability to restrict it to the first X seconds of a call, and enabling it on specific calls only.

    A patch to the existing automatic fax detection code to add the features we need is what we’re looking to hire someone for.

    Thanks.
