[Asterisk-Users] Receiving Faxes...

[Christian Gröger]

Hi,

I am experimenting with receiving faxes in asterisk:

exten => in_fax,1,Macro(faxreceive)
exten => in_fax,2,system(tiff2ps -2eaz -w 8.5 -h 11 ${FAXFILE} | ps2pdf 
- ${FAXFILE}.pdf)
exten => in_fax,3,system(cp ${FAXFILE}.pdf 
/var/www/faxes/${CALLERID(number)}.pdf)
exten => in_fax,4,system(mime-construct --to mail at server --subject "Fax 
from ${CALLERID(number)} ${CALLERID(name)}" --attachment 
${CALLERID(number)}.pdf --type application/pdf --file ${FAXFILE}.pdf)
exten => in_fax,5,system(rm ${FAXFILE} ${FAXFILE}.pdf)
exten => in_fax,6,Hangup

That is an extension Freepbx made, with some extensions from me, because 
FreePBX doesn't work well with mISDN... Wel, it receives faxes and it 
saves them as an tif, it also converts them to a pdf file, but the other 
commands aren't executed... why?

thanks for help
