Thanks, that helps. What variable (in Asterisk) would I modify if I
wanted to tweak one of the CALLERID fields that gets passed? Right now,
it is not passing the DID number the fax came in on, it is always
passing 's' as the NDID.

I was wondering if anyone would know why receiving a fax via an
extension -> IAXModem -> Hylafax would work, but fax -> rxfax
(spandsp) does not. When I try to use the app_rxfax the fax machine
reports a comm error. If I use the IAXModem client connected to
Hylafax it works.
HylaFAX supports ECM in Class 1, and so undoubtedly the fax session with
rxfax was quite different from the fax session with HylaFAX. So it's
not a perfect apples-to-apples comparison, but I would generally
consider HylaFAX to be more mature than rxfax/txfax.
The fact that the fax works with iaxmodem but not with rxfax means that
the error is not with spandsp (the library), but rather with the rxfax
application.
I don't mind the Hylafax method, but I want to be able to route the
fax/pdf to a mail address based on the extension/DID called. As it is
right now, Hylafax does not know which DID was called and only sends
notifications to a general mailbox.
Then you're missing something. HylaFAX does (or at least could) know
the extension that was dialed. You should be using HylaFAX 4.2.2 or
4.2.3, and your modem config file should have these lines in it:
ModemResetCmds: AT+VCID=1
CallIDPattern: "NDID="
That will parse the modem output for "NDID=" responses and put them into
the CallID array which is passed to faxrcvd and FaxDispatch. So if
you're using the default modem config file provided with IAXmodem then
you'd refer to $CALLID4. See 'man callid' for a more detailed explanation.
