[Asterisk-Users] Strange sound when fax answers (app_rxfax)

[Peter Bittner]

Hi!

The codec is set to ulaw and alaw. The app_rxfax module and the sending 
machine even seem to correctly communicate, as I can tell from the output on 
the console (*CLI>).

I have saved the output of the console for 2 fax calls  and one phone call 
(for comparison purposes) to 3 textfiles (just a couple of lines each).
If anyone could have a look at it to tell what's going wrong, I'd really be 
grateful.

In /etc/extensions.conf I have the following under the [default] section:

exten => 0189000047,1,Answer
exten => 0189000047,2,rxfax(/home/bittner/fax-from-${CALLERIDNUM}.tif)
exten => 0189000047,3,Hangup

(Note: I only expect fax calls -- from 0189000047 for now --, nothing else.)

Cheers, Peter
