Thanks Guys

I already have the fax machine a brother all-in-one Printer, scanner, fax.
I realize the s,3, answers the line
But How can I get s,2, to detect if it is a fax and take it from there without answering?

It is not about dial plan. Your original plan should work if you can get Asterisk/Zaptel to do "silent answer" (in priority 2). Otherwise nothing is going to work. On the other hand, all Brother IntelliFAX support silent answer (something they call intelligent ring or the like). See if your machine has an TAD (telephone answering device) port - and old Brother I used had this.

If yes, you can enable silent answer on the FAX, then connect your X100P/Asterisk to this TAD port. FAX machines usually monitors for FAX tone for 2 rings. Some machines also cut off ring to TAD before it determines it the call is not for FAX; if not, simply program your Asterisk to wait for a few seconds before doing anything. This should give you the same functionality.

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???

I look forward to your input,
Thank You

Barry
