I looked into why I can't get the original DID number called when a fax
is detected (so I can later route to the correct email address). There
is a variable called FAXEXTEN that is created when a fax is detected,
but it is not being populated with the original extension / did number
called. It
Found out why there is no original DID set. It looks like while waiting
for the incoming digits timeout (DID), we are getting the fax tone
detect and it is sending a digit 'f' which immediately starts the fax
extension before the incoming DID has been saved.
Is there a way to set in the zap
I was wondering if anyone would know why receiving a fax via an
extension - IAXModem - Hylafax would work, but fax - rxfax (spandsp)
does not. When I try to use the app_rxfax the fax machine reports a comm
error. If I use the IAXModem client connected to Hylafax it works. I
don't mind the

Thanks, that helps. What variable (in Asterisk) would I modify if I
wanted to tweak one of the CALLERID fields that gets passed? Right now,
it is not passing the DID number the fax came in on, it is always
passing 's' as the NDID.

Try: Set(CALLERID(number)=newcalleridhere)
Just make the newcalleridhere whatever number you are going to look
for in FaxDispatch or the NDID field.
I am just getting started in the Hylafax stuff and have a dual PRI card

HylaFAX should already have the TIFF - PDF conversion stuff built-in.

Actually, it uses libtiff's tiff2pdf, if possible, and if not then uses
it's own scripting with tiff2ps - ps2pdf. (The latter being less-good
because it uses a Ghostscript tool... which therefore makes

The TIFF - PDF conversion is working fine, just the
mime-encoding/attachment stuff to the email seems to be where i am
having issues. I am able to use the existing conversion stuff from the
command-line. I have metamail, uuencode, and base64-encode installed,
but must be missing something :)

The only problem here is, we are using our normal did numbers that
forward to our extensions. Asterisk detects the fax tone and sends it
to the exten = fax,1, extension.
In this example faxdetect is overwriting the DID.

So the trick then would be to somewhere early-on in your dialplan grab
the DID into some variable, and then restore it after the fax detection
occurs...

exten = _X.,1, SetVar(ORIGEXTEN=${EXTEN})
exten = s,2,Wait(3)

Re-run faxsetup. It (in 4.2.1 and later) usually clears things up for
most people.
Lee.
Everything is working great now. Now on to tackling the DID stuff and
IAXmodem.
Thanks guys.
