Summary:                    app_fax: ReceiveFax fails with more than 1 page.
Description: 
1.6.1-beta4: pstn connected to TDM400P. The sender is the office fax (
Brother ) used daily without problems. I can receive faxes with the pstn
hooked up to my fax machine.

A one page fax works fine, but two pages causes an error. Same problem
whether using * built with and using spandsp-0.0.5-pre4 or built with and
using 0.0.6-pre3, but different error messages:

0.0.5-pre4:

Still with spandsp-20090117.tar.gz, I got this:

ReceiveFAX("DAHDI/4-1", "/var/spool/asterisk/fax/200901231628-0.tif") in
new stack
[Jan 23 16:28:36] WARNING[1295]: app_fax.c:177 phase_e_handler: Error
transmitting fax. result=5: The HDLC carrier did not stop in a timely
manner.

failed
    -- Executing [s at incoming-fax:3] Hangup("DAHDI/4-1", "") in new stack

2 of 3 pages were received.

But a resend of the same fax 5 minutes later worked for all 3 pages.

Saw there was a 20090124 snapshot. I'll try that.
