In my experience, you can't just dump xxx call files into the outgoing directory. If you expect more than a dozen or so, you'll have to move them in blocks as they are processed.

Create a file named fajr containing: application:playback channel:sip/bilal data: fajr-in-10-minutes Copy the file to a directory we assume is on the same file system as /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/: cp\ fajr\ /var/spool/asterisk/tmp/ Set the file's 'mtime' touch\ --date='now + 2 minutes'\ --time=mtime\ /var/spool/asterisk/tmp/fajr Move it to the outgoing directory: mv\ /var/spool/asterisk/tmp/fajr\ /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/ Your phone should ring in about 2 minutes. You may want to look into setting 'auto-answer' or some sort of 'overhead paging' with a very discreet sound file like a short, single beep. Please consider AMI if you are looking for a robust service. -- Thanks in advance, - Steve Edwards sedwa...@sedwards.com Voice: +1-760-468-3867 PST Newline Fax: +1-760-731-3000 -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Re: [asterisk-users] $100 Bounty: Level 3/Asterisk/Adtran T.38 Pass-Through
Use "tcpdump" utility, capture all udp packets for the faulty t38 fax call. T38 works reliably since asterisk 1.6. Wireshark utility shows t38 signals so it is possible to debug it.

I'm wondering if faxdetect is required for Asterisk to set CHANNEL(t38passthrough) to 1. It is set to zero on fax calls passing through Asterisk. -Original Message- From: asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Bryant Zimmerman Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2012 6:52 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] $100 Bounty: Level 3/Asterisk/Adtran T.38 Pass-Through We process a lot of t.38 with Level 3 and our Asterisk servers.
