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.
.. much cleanup from my earlier verisions, thanks brad@
