Comment on MyFax Support, You Suck by Jason Navarrete

If you’re getting a window with msiexec options, double check the parameters you’re using and the direction of the slashes. Something might be off there.

I’m in the process of attempting to port out one of my fax numbers, so we’ll see how it goes…

I too am very unhappy with myfax. Use to be good, but service is now nonexistent. I tried the silent install above and was unable to get to work. A window with msiexec options available just keeps coming up. I too am looking for a replacement service.

Don’t think you can extract the silence using sox, at least I’m not aware of how to do it. I think you’d need some sort of specialized audio analysis utility to do that. Good luck though!

I know this may sound pointless, but theres a way to actually keep the silence files? By this, I think I would be able to create a “noise” profile and then clean the audio.

What I’m actually doing for getting a possible noise profile is extract 0.4 seconds of the beginning of an analog recording:
sox f1.wav f2.wav trim 0 0.40
sox f2.wav -n noiseprof noise.prof
sox f1.wav f3.wav noisered noise.prof 0.3

Finally I split by taking silence into account:
sox f3.wav f4.wav silence 1 0.2 5% 1 0.1 5% : newfile : restart

I just would like to first get the silence files instead of trimming.

There is an import guide and I think I tried it back in the 1.2.6 days, but I haven't used it recently. Good luck.

one other question is:

if you already had a configuration inplace, how to load it back in using nconf, is it possible?

btw thanks for the article, it helped me out

Either move your deploy location from /var/www/ to somewhere else (I used /tmp/) or change the permissions to allow writes to your /var/www/nconf/temp/test/ folder. It’s more than likely a permissions issue.

I keep getting this error, have you seen this before?

[ERROR] Could not open /var/www/nconf/temp/test/Default_collector.cfg for writing

This command should keep the original sound if it’s more than 0.5 seconds long. You might try it with another file or a test file to make sure you’ve got all the parameters correct.
