Hi All

Curious will this work
Std. PSTN line  ---x------ X100p
                  |
                  ------ Fax Machine
Using a standard "home phone" pstn line with a splitter connecting a fax machine and X100 Asterisk Box
Incoming Line: Can I have in the dial Plan
[incoming]
exten  => s,1,Wait(1)
exten  => s,2,IfFax continue to ring, so that the Fax Machine gets it
exten  => s,3,Answer
exten  => s,4,Playback(Message)
exten  => s,5,Dial(SIP/1000&SIP/2000&SIP/3000)
exten  => s,6,Hangup()
exten  => fax,1,Wait(30)
exten  => fax,2,Wait(10)
exten  => fax,3,Hangup()
                I'm wanting the line to ring,
If it is a fax coming in then Asterisk leaves the line alone and lets the fax machine handle the call. If it is a call then Asterisk answers, plays a greeting and rings the IP phones?

Question is how does asterisk detect the call without answering?
I'm not wanting Asterisk to handle the call if it is a fax if possible???

My impression is no (reliable) way. Asterisk doesn't do silent answer kind of stuff.

However, if you can be flexible, many FAX machines have silent answer and includes a feature to ring the hand set if it determines the call is not for FAX. You may be able to find a model that allows ringing of an external phone set.

I look forward to your input,
Thank You
