[asterisk-users] sending fax with chan-capi

Hi Klaus,

The incoming fax script will generate an email with the fax attached,  
and there is another script, sendfax_status.py, which is run as a  
DeadAGI after the outgoing fax has been sent, it retrieves status  
information and sends it to a (hardcoded) email address.

The call file created by the outgoing script "file2fax.py" specifies  
3 retries in case of failure. This just retries it within Asterisk, I  
don't know if I could have chan_capi do that.
