This took me forever to figure out. I could not get asterisk to detect inbound fax calls from my SIP provider. Voice calls would go through my dialplan fine. With a fax call, I'd see the call in the log, asterisk would answer it, and then it would mysteriously drop. I went through everything I could possibly think of.
Turns out my SIP provider (race.com) has an E-Fax feature that detects and intercepts fax calls and stores them on their server (or e-mails them out to wherever you want). So after asterisk answers, race.com detects a fax, redirects the call to their fax receiver, and drops the call to my asterisk box. Trying to figure out now if there's any way to disable that feature with them. Their control panel portal doesn't seem to offer any way to disable it. Just thought I'd post my discovery here in case anyone else is tearing their hair out over this :) -j _______________________________________________ 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
