I’m trying to implement a system that works with faxes. We have a gatewary, phone to T.38 (fax over IP). I need a library that will let me do the other end, T.38 to TIFF image. I’m doing this on a mac, and we work with C, C++, php, java.
A program that will quietly turn T.38 into T.37 (fax over email) would work just as well.
Does anyone know of either of these?
Hylafax may work for you, if you’re willing to use linux somewhere.
I use asterisk + iaxmodem + hylafax. Hylafax is designed to receive/send faxes. Received faxes are saved as tiffs or pdf’s or sent to an arbitrary script of your own making for processing. Hylafax expects to use real modems. Iaxmodem simulates a real modem while really being an IAX2 (voip protocol like sip) connection to asterisk.
If you’re really hardcore, you could look at extracting the ‘conversion’ part out of hylafax and turning it into a library for your own use on the mac. It is open source.
