You use the 'h' side of the dialplan for the extension. exten = s,1,Answer exten = s,n,Set(some magic to make the filename unique) exten = s,n,ReceiveFax(filenamevar) exten = h,1,Cmd(/usr/bin/tiff2ps filenamevar.tiff) exten = h,n,Cmd(/usr/bin/lpr filenamevar.ps) So if your ReceiveFax() saves a tiff, you can then on the 'h' side do the tiff2ps and lpr steps. Which is the only way it's going to work if you make these calls directly in the dialplan. Another alternative is setting up external programs to handle those things for you. Some people get good results that way. I am getting good results doing everything in the dialplan. One brilliant thing about doing it all from an asterisk dialplan is that it automatically scales to the number of inbound calls in your system at that time. Zero 'modems' when nobody is calling in and n 'modems' when you're load testing. Asterisk will dynamically create the resources, and destroy them when the call completes. I loaded up my system with 150+ fake modems in load testing Asterisk-1.6 with ReceiveFax() directly in a dialplan. Whereas Hylafax needs to have a fixed number of 'modems' that it manages at a time. So you need to designate a number of 'modems' based on the number of inbound calls you expect. ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
[asterisk-users] Continue in dialplan on hangup
Is there a way to force a channel to continue in the dialplan after the remote end hangs up? Specifically, I am trying to play around with setting up a fax server. I can receive the fax, but sometimes the sending fax hangs up before my System command for printing can run and the fax never prints. I know I can work around by setting up a custom context and use the 'h' extension, but I am hoping for a more simple method.

HylaFAX+ handles the printing/re-faxing/fax2email of all inbound/outbound faxes via it's FaxDispatch script. It's a 'Set and forget (tm)' package. I absolutely love it.
