Unfortunately mISDN is generally a pretty poor quality piece of code, and faxing in general is dodgy under Asterisk. My best suggestion would be to use Bristuff instead of mISDN, and try either of these combos: * Bristuff + Spandsp (no idea if this will compile) * Bristuff + iaxmodem + hylafax Bristuff is a patchset (the author refers to it as a "spoon") to Asterisk, Zaptel and Libpri. The advantage is it allows you to access your channels in a Zap-like manner and is much less buggy than mISDN (no bri software is that terrific though imho). Not sure if the netjet even has a driver for Bristuff or not, something to look into obviously. If you want to give Bristuff a go, download the latest version from www.junghanns.net/downloads/ and extract the tarball, inside is a script that grabs the correct copies of Asterisk, Libpri and Zaptel, patches, compiles and installs them. You may need to fiddle around manually to get spandsp in the picture. I have an older Bri card sitting around if you may need it, not sure if it's Bristuff supported though. anyway, hope this helps, worst comes to worst you could divert the isdn line.
