I only suggested that in case someone has managed to receive faxes from other remote asterisk machines, or via SIP...?

Otherwise, you're right.

If you are going to do hylafax why not just do it seperate from
asterisk on a regular modem and just email o ut the results. Don't see
the big bonus to using a FXS and the adding cost and point of
failures.

About faxing, anyone tried this?

How about instead of sending the fax to a tiff file, dial an FXS
extension, where you'll have either a dedicated fax machine, or a
Hylafax-connected modem, so you handle all your faxes though hylafax?

I have hylafax running succesfully, and can send and receive already
using an external modem.. so, if I plug the modem's phone line to a
zaptel FXS, I'll be able to do:

exten => fax,1,Dial(Zap/X)
exten => fax,2,Hangup

You could centraly handle faxes on hylafax.. and email the tiffs after
that...

I'd appreciate your thoughts on this. I'll be trying this later on..

I'm using the latest Asterisk from CVS, SpanDSP 0.0.1k, and the
latest
app_rxfax.c (as mirrored by friendly list members recently), and

executing
the fax extension in the dialplan.




I am using the same software versions, but don't have Zap channels.






The fax part of the dialplan is pretty simple.  The incoming call
is
already answered by this point:

exten => fax,1,RxFax(/tmp/fax.tif)
exten => fax,2,Hangup




This should be enough.






I do get files in /tmp called fax-[tr]x-audio-*, but no tif...
The console output follows.  I don't really know what any of it
means...
Can anyone give me a hand getting this working?




Files like /tmp/fax-[tr]x-audio-* are just audio logs for debug.
LOG_FAX_AUDIO in ./src/t30.c is the trigger for this debugging.

It is not related to your problem, but files used as argument to
txfax() are left open.

This is not the answer to your problem, I know. But maybe theese
remarks are usefull anyway.
