[Asterisk-Users] Receive fax then send onwards

[Bradley Schatz]

Hi,

I have managed to successfully receive faxes from a fax machine
attached to a Linksys PAP2, and send those faxes off via email using
rxfax (spandsp). From within the same process, I would now like to
automatically send the tiff file onwards as a fax using txfax out via
a zaptel interface. I have pasted my first cut at this below.

The problem here is that the SIP connection context on which I
received the fax seems to be where txfax wants to send the fax. I
imagine that I am missing something pretty fundamental in my
understanding of asterisk.

How do I create a new channel with the zaptel interface such that the
send will work?

Thanks,

bradley
