[asterisk-users] Asterisk and Faxing

Hi All

I have been looking around and haven not been able to find a working example
I have a fresh/new  install of Asterisk 1.6.2.0  with dahdi 2.2.1 and libpri 1.4.10.2

I use a sangoma A200 card so I am using wanpipe 3.4.7
If I use zaptel which I read I need for app_rxfax then asterisk crashes with segfaults on startup

asterisk[2624]: segfault at 30353466 ip b7eb538b sp bffda26c error 4 in libc-2.7.so[b7e3f000+155000]
asterisk[2647]: segfault at 30353466 ip b7e6338b sp bfb7708c error 4 in libc-2.7.so[b7ded000+155000]
asterisk[2666]: segfault at 30353466 ip b7dfe38b sp bfa6e4ec error 4 in libc-2.7.so[b7ded000+155000]

When I use dahdi at least asterisk will start but app_rxfax will fail
with  unknown symbol in ast_register_application

I could only find a precompiled-linux-spandsp-app-fax   is there anyway to get the source
and compile for myself?  Where I can compile for dahdi and not zaptel.
Or can someone explain why the segfaulting??


my machine O/S is:  Debian   kernel : 2.6.26-2-686   i686

My goal is to connect a fax machine to the the sangoma card so I can send
paper based faxes.

I have a teliax provided SIP phone number which will be the fax number to receive all faxes
and have them emailed to a central email address, hopefully in PDF format. where they can
be printed and/or forwarded.

It would be nice to have the incoming fax emailed to a specific address based on either
subject or senders phone number. If this is possible I would like to know how.


Thanks in advance

Barry
