[asterisk-users] Asterisk and Faxing

[Travis Elsberry]

For what it's worth I'm also using HylaFAX 6.0.3 with IAXmodem to talk to my 1.6.0.17 box to send faxes across my SIP provider (they only support SIP at this time). I can't really speak to the reliability for high-volume loads, but I haven't had any problems with the dozen or so that I've sent out over the last couple of months.

I'm using hylafax/aixmodem for a fax solution. If your SIP DID provider has a T.38 path to you, faxing should be pretty reliable. I'm on * 1.4 and I'm not too familiar with current fax offerings in 1.6. Hylafax can be configured to email incoming faxes as a PDF, or to accept outbound faxes from a print driver on your client machines

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
