 I personally have considered this behaviour to possibly be a bug.

Once a fax is sent, the sending fax machine typically hangs up the call - 
sending the call to the "h" extension.  It's the same as if you are on an 
actual call that was connected using the Dial() application, and the other 
end hangs up - the next step is the 'h' extension, not to continue in the 
current dialplan.  I don't see how this is a bug, unless you think the 
entire call-flow paradigm that currently exists in asterisk is a bug.

Now, if you're not getting certain variables to pass into the 'h' 
extension, that you feel should indeed be passed into the 'h' extension, 
that may be considered a bug...but you would need to show us CLI output and 
existing dialplan for followup.

I concur we use the "h" extension to log inbound faxes to a database and 
then we process them outside the asterisk platform.  Our biggest issue with 
ReceiveFAX is about a 20% t.38 negotiation fail ratio. We then force fall 
back to t.30 for the next call from that number. We would like to see 
better success with t.38. Today our primary server has had 910 faxes of 
which 707 negotiated t.38, 44 have failed darn robo dialers, The rest 
failed the first attempt and came in T.30 on the second call.

Thanks
