Thanks Tim - it gives a warning that SipT38SwitchOver can only be used on SIP channels, and then fails with the "exceptionally long queue" errors.
So looks I'll need to write some inhouse software that creates the manual spool files and copies them to the outgoing directory and let CallWeaver do the rest. Basically noone in the world has a software based T.38 outgoing fax server is my conclusion. Really weird given how long this technology has been around and how unreliable any other form of ip based faxing is!

[outgoing] is dialing as expected. Update [outgoing] to this: |[outgoing] exten => _X.,1,Wait(1) exten => _X.,n,SipT38SwitchOver() exten => _X.,n,Dial(SIP/${ext...@wdp) | This may or may not work. And, keep in mind, I'm not entirely sure if Callweaver can do channel conversion from SIP/T.38 to IAX/aLaw. I'd done some testing of this a few months ago and I recall the fax/channel failing completely or T.38 simply not switching. I certainly hope this has changed in recent months. :-) --Tim _______________________________________________ Callweaver-users mailing list Callweaver-users@callweaver.org http://lists.callweaver.org/mailman/listinfo/callweaver-users This communication including any email attachments is confidential.
