[Asterisk-Users] Email to FAX

[Coufal Bohuslav]

But it seems that Asterisk understand that he has to dial (the dialed number 
is correct),

    -- Attempting call on Zap/4/585228796 for application 
txfax(/tmp/ast_fax-1129192102.10240.1804289383.0|caller) (Retry 1)

it seems that zap channel had answered (but nothing to try dial),

       > Channel Zap/4-1 was answered.

and lunching txfax

       > Launching txfax(/tmp/ast_fax-1129191936.10240.1804289383.0|caller) on 
Zap/4-1

and immediately hungup

    -- Hungup 'Zap/4-1'

May be something wrong in zapata.conf?

; Zapata telephony interface
;
; Configuration file
;
; You need to restart Asterisk to re-configure the Zap channel
; CLI> reload chan_zap.so
;               will reload the configuration file,
;               but not all configuration options are
;               re-configured during a reload.
[channels]

language=us

;context=fax
channel => 3-4

Thank for any other sugestions,

Bob.
