Description-en: software modem with IAX2 connectivity
IAXmodem is a software modem written in C that uses an IAX channel (commonly
provided by an Asterisk PBX system) instead of a traditional phone line and
uses a DSP library instead of DSP hardware chipsets.
.
IAXmodem was originally conceived to function as a fax modem usable with
HylaFAX, and it does that well. However IAXmodem also has been known to
function with mgetty+sendfax and efax.
