[asterisk-users] 1.6.0.5: I need a really simple analog SendFax dialplan

[Martin]

well maybe it doesn't work as it should ... anyways like the other
poster said that's not the way you use it ...

either call the sendfax app directly or use "Originate" / call file spooling...

BTW there should be an Originate app executable from dialplan ...
But since there's none you can do

exten => _X.,n,System(echo -e "Channel: SIP/number at gateway\\nContext:
send\\nExtension: s\\nPriority: 1\\n" >
/var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/call-${UNIQUEID})

and at send,s,1 call sendfax
