Hi,

Glad it worked. The generated file is a 'Structured Fax
File'
The faxreceive.php is not that important in this case. All
it does is lookup customer that sends the fax in our CRM
application and moves the faxfile to the binary datastore of
our CRM application.
But if you're still interested here is the subversion view
of it:
http://covide.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/covide/trunk/classes/voip/agi_scripts/mysql/faxreceive.php?revision=1&view=markup

What's more interesting for you I think is how you can
convert this file into something more common.

The code is here:
http://covide.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/covide/trunk/classes/voip/data.php?revision=1&view=markup
line 80 and below.

Basically you can run the following commandline tools on the
file to create a .pdf
sfftobmp -t <origfaxfile> -o <sometifffile.tif>
tiff2pdf -o <somepdffile.pdf> <sometifffile.tif>

Good luck
