Matt, thanks for pointing me to zaptel.conf; I'm new to Asterisk and can use all the help I get!
Here are the non-comment lines from zaptel.conf (not set up by me): span=1,1,0,esf,b8zs span=2,1,0,esf,b8zs bchan=1-23 dchan=24 bchan=25-47 dchan=48 loadzone = us defaultzone=us The first span is connected to the PSTN. The second is connected to a Windows-based server using Dialogic hardware and custom software. The second span has a clock priority equal to the first one. I'm guessing that this has the effect of ignoring clock from the first span (same as '0') and using clock from the second. Not good. I've changed the clock priority for span 2 to '0'; if we lose the PSTN we'll rely on the Digium card for clock. Fax throughput seems fine with this change. In zapata.conf I find: ; Network Side signalling => pri_cpe group => 1 context => pstn-inbound channel => 1-23 ; IVR Side signalling=> pri_net group => 2 context => ivr-inbound channel => 25-47 The default would be switchtype=national, which is correct. I see that for 'signalling', 'group' and 'context' "=>" has been used, rather than the "=" that I see in documentation.
