Summary:                    [patch] SendFAX/ReceiveFAX
Description: 
sendfax/receivefax applications are replacement for well known txfax/rxfax.
These are based on the same idea and also use SpanDSP GPL library by Steve
Underwood.

I hope these can be included in basic Asterisk distribution (or to addons)
just to make it easier for people obtaining fax support for Asterisk. Also,
this implementation fixes couple of bugs in applications which prevented me
using txfax/rxfax out of the box.

Notes:
* receivefax does not allow specifying %d in the file name. To me, it is
up to dialplan to form really unique file name.
* debug and answering/calling mode options are specified in a way
different from txfax/rxfax

slavon,
just curious how do you use FAX_DONE variable? SendFAX/ReceiveFAX allow
you to check if transmission was successful or not. In case of successful
transmission, sndfax_exec returns zero in any other case it returns -1.
However you can not distinguish between some kind of fatal error which
prevented transmission from even starting (like wrong channel status) and
error ocurred during transmission. I'm not sure if information is really
important and that is why I would like to know how you really use FAX_DONE
and FAX_ERROR vars. Maybe you could show piece of dialplan?
