[Asterisk-Users] SpanDSP - Still can't send

[Rod Bacon]

>From my personal experience, the 'weird ideas' come from a lack of 
consistent documentation. The caller option, and the use thereof is not 
clearly explained anywhere that I can find, and examples of spandsp that are 
floating around the WiKi (among other places) erroneously leave this option 
out.

In any case, I still can't send faxes... with or without the option.
