First of all, I really appreciate the help.

So I tried this in the CLI: (everything is on one line)

channel originate SIP/outgoing/5556667777 extension=sendfax at LocalSets 
faxfile=/path/to/tiff/file priority=1

But I got "SendFAX requires an argument".  I tried various things but I 
am poking around in the dark.  Can you suggest an actual CLI command 
based on those options that I can try?

Also, is there some way to have the AMI interface send back the same 
errors?  All I get from the socket now is "Asterisk Call Manager/5.0.1".

Thanks again.
