[Asterisk-Users] Must be configuring something wrong spanDSP rxfax

[Derrick Knight]

I have rebuilt my * server back to a Linux 2.4 kernel in hopes that with 
a clean install with a well founded kernel would resolve my spanDSP 
rxfax problem. Unfortunately, I am still in exactly the same spot with 
the application (rxfax) loaded into * and successfully able to view it 
with the show application rxfax command in *CLI. Can someone help me to 
understand where I am going wrong?

Fresh build of Slackware 10.0 with 2.4.26, libtiff-3.5.7, asterisk 1.0.7 
(CVS-HEAD-03/31/05-13:39:58), spanDSP 0.0.2pre10
Asterisk is functioning normally with full voicemail, etc.
# cd  /usr/src/spandsp/spandsp-0.0.2/
# ./configure --prefix=/usr
# make
# make install
# cd /usr/src/spandsp
# cp app*fax.c /usr/src/asterisk/apps
# cp apps_makefile.patch /usr/src/asterisk/apps
# manually patch the Makefile in /usr/src/asterisk/apps with the + lines
# cd /usr/src/asterisk
# make clean
# make
# make install
# asterisk -vvvvvvvvgc

When I receive an inbound fax, the *CLI shows the following:

homey*CLI>
    -- Starting simple switch on 'Zap/3-1'
    -- Executing SetMusicOnHold("Zap/3-1", "default") in new stack
    -- Executing Answer("Zap/3-1", "") in new stack
    -- Executing Dial("Zap/3-1", "Zap/1|15") in new stack
    -- Called 1
    -- Zap/1-1 is ringing
    -- Zap/1-1 is ringing
    -- Redirecting Zap/3-1 to fax extension

    -- Executing SetVar("Zap/3-1", "FAXFILE=/data/fax/1112059186.0.tif") 
in new stack
    -- Executing RxFAX("Zap/3-1", "/data/fax/1112059186.0.tif") in new stack
/* NOTE, there is a delay here after the fax machine establishes connection, then finally gives up with a message stating no response from the fax (rxfax in this case) */
    -- Hungup 'Zap/3-1'



Here is my extensions.conf:

Can anyone see anything I am doing wrong?

THANKS!
