Given all the issues with the fax DSP code and reliability, I'm looking into the option of using an external fax modem instead of trying to shoehorn asterisk into handling faxes properly...
I'm thinking of hooking up the faxmodem to the line directly, then hooking the X100P to the modem's Phone port. Can I enable fax detection and use the fax extension to spawn an external command (halafax) to receive the fax? In theory, this should cause the modem to "take over" the line, disconnecting the X100P (causing a Red alarm) and receive the fax. What is the state of fax detection with the stable branch of * on an X100P? Does it work reliably? Do I need to wait() or will Dial still be able to detect faxes: exten => s,1,Answer exten => s,2,Dial(blah extension for phone|20|d) exten => fax,1,System(tell-halafax-to-answer) or is this required: exten => s,1,Answer exten => s,2,wait(5) exten => s,3,Dial(blah extension for phone|20|d) exten => fax,1,System(tell-halafax-to-answer) Anyone doing something like this already? _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
