Open Source - Can SpanDSP and FaxForAsterisk coexist in the same asterisk implementation?

Open Source - Can SpanDSP and FaxForAsterisk coexist in the same asterisk implementation?

In short, no. FaxforAsterisk is intended to replace SpanDSP for handling faxes within Asterisk. Although the modules are named differently, please take into consideration that they perform similar functions and register the same applications in Asterisk core. 

 

In order to disable SpanDSP, please either remove or configure Asterisk to not load the module.
 

[Disable]

In the file /etc/asterisk/module.conf add the line:

 noload => res_fax_spandsp.so

 

[Remove]

rm /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/res_fax_spandsp.so

 

Then restart Asterisk.

 

Note: Prior to Asterisk 1.8, the SpanDSP module was "app_fax.so"
