Those packages should have app_fax, so in most cases you won't need FFA. I'm not sure there's yet FFA for Asterisk 1.6.2, and in any case when it is avaialable, the interface for the fax module was changes relatively late (after the Ubuntu packages were frozen, IIRC) to move the common code of those two modules to a single module in the Asterisk tree. -- Tzafrir Cohen | tzaf...@jabber.org | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's tzaf...@cohens.org.il | | best ICQ# 16849754 | | friend _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
