[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk@home questions

[Sascha Ferley]

Hi

I am currently running asterisk at home version 0.9 and have a few questions,
which i hope someone on this list might be able to answer.

1) I am trying to setup incomming fax support, but however i never manage
to receive the faxes, getting a signal 15. As per handbook, there isn't
too much underlaying documentation, which one could reference to debug the
problems. Here is a log:

Thus as one sees it seems i get a exception. I did do the asterisk pdf
install. Is there any way to get better debugging info? Also any way to
configure asterisk to keep the tiff files around and not delete them when
they are sent?



2) The next question i have is how do i manipulate a physical line via
asterisk on a sip client. Basically i am subscribed to some services via
the telco like call waiting / call forwarding, where as using the *70 on a
sip will just do a call forwarding on asterisk and not send that signal
out to the telco. Also trying to manipulate the call waiting signal on the
line, as when i am on the sip phone i can hear a call come in, but can't
seem to instruct asterisk to send the switch voice channel signal to the
telco. Any ideas on how to do this? Not in the documentation from what i
can read.



Please let me know

Thanks
