[Asterisk-Users] SpanDSP - Still can't send

[Steve Underwood]

Where do these weird ideas come from? :-) Why on earth would it relate 
to the dial plan? What difference can you imagine the dial plan might make?

If you want txfax to behave as the calling, rather than the answering, 
side you need to specify the "caller" option. Don't confuse caller with 
sender. The machine which makes a call can be either the one sending a 
FAX, or one picking up a FAX by polling. That is the reason the "caller" 
option exists.

Regards,
Steve
