T.38 api/stack for C++ Windows development?

Apr 11, 2005 11 Replies

Does anybody know of a good T.38 FAX-over-IP stack/api for use with C++ development on the Windows platform?



Thanks, Tim


Here is one link that I found on Google, although I've never it. We developed our own T.38 protocol implementation here.

Well, netbricks has failed to repsond to my query, so I must assume they don't want my business.

Any other suggestions, anybody?

Thanks, Tim

What exactly is it that you're trying to do?

I need to build a T.38 FAX-over-IP solution, using a Windows USB device with an analog phone port (FX0) which the user will plug a standard machine FAX into.

Thanks, Tim

Understood. At my workplace we developed our own T.38 stack in-house. I'm not too familiar with any off the shelf solutions. I just Googled for the link I gave you before.

in-house. I'm

That's cool, I appreciate you giving me the link.

Actually, NETBRICKS have since responded to my query, and we're communicating back and forth to see if they will meet my needs.

If anybody has any more suggestions/options for me to look into, I'd still appreciate it. I don't know yet if NETBRICKS is adequate, or if I can get the funding to purchase it.

Thanks again, Tim

FYI, free/open source solutions are preferred.

Tim

Yeah, I'm trying to avoid that... With my level of experience it will likely take me a LONG time to do myself.

Thanks, Tim

Well, you can try to do it yourself, but that takes (1) time, (2) money, (3) persisitence. The big PITA as far as T.38 is concerned is the ASN.1 encoding. Whoever came up with that brilliant idea in the standards meetings ought to be shot.

Actually it IS a brilliant idea. Take that from a software company which has implemented H.323 and SIP. The text-encoding of SIP is a pain in the a**. With the ASN.1, you can either take an existing ASN.1 compiler or build one yourself and just compile a c/c++ encoder/decoder right from the ASN.1 source. This way you will likely get much more stable code than building by hand - which is the only option for SIP.

And this shows - I have seen far more SIP-stacks which are terribly implemented than H.323 ones...
