You need to Answer() the call first, then insert a Wait(2). During that time, asterisk will be listning for fax tone and jump to the fax extension if it hears them. So: exten => s,1,Answer() exten => s,n,Wait(2) Ringing() Dial(DAHDI/2) Hangup() and exten => fax,1,Dial(DHADI/1) exten => fax,n,Hangup() But at this point why not just feed it into RxFax?
