[Asterisk-Users] Trying to cut out the paper work...

[Etienne Pretorius]

Hello everyone,

Ok. I am at a bit of a loss.... and would like someone to point me in 
the right direction...(btw www.google.co.za did not give me ANY solutions).

The issue at hand is simple, I get asterisk (1.0.9) to answer the 
incoming call with no problems... it does the fax detection thing with 
app "Answer" and well it goes to the perfectly right context and sets 
the varibles 100% correct. Then it calls app "rxfax({$FAXFILE})" and 
then it dies...

I am using AMP and did all the compiling correctly on a Debian Sarge 
machine. It was busy_detect that used to kill the calls but now it seems 
to be the "DTMF" - or something as there is no file created during the 
call and there is obviously no file after the call. Disabling the DTMF 
in /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf causes the line (incoming call) not to be 
picked up by asterisk. Going back to a bug report, setting 
CFLAGS+=-DOLD_DSP_ROUTINES in the asterisk Makefile and doing a complete 
recompile yealds the same results. Under Debian, GhostScript is 
installed and libtiff giving me the required binaries to create a tiff 
and then to convert it into a pdf.

Kernel 2.6.8-2-686
AMP-1.10.008
asterisk-1.0.9
asterisk-perl-0.08
lame-3.96.1-2.1.el3.rf.i386
