right, followed the wrong manual that told me to use the 2 switches
instead of the jumper. i feel stupd.
at least it shows NT now.

pfff, is it just me or is the readability of the asterisk project not
always up to par? , wouldn't want to say it sucked.

i've got bri_net as created by dahdi_genconf on the line connected to
the modem, the incoming lines are bri_cpe.
the bri description doesn't make sense to me for connecting to an analog
device.

whats next? all the info i can find on this subject relates to hylafax
being installed on the same server.

have set
 
 faxdetect=incoming
 faxdetect=outgoing 
 faxdetect=yes

so i guess it would detect an incoming fax automagically.

what kind of extension do you need to pass the signal to?"
