OK, I set up context [send-test]
dialplan show send-test
[ Context 'send-test' created by 'pbx_config' ]
   's' =>            1. 
SendFax(/var/spool/asterisk/fax/20090922_1301.tif) [pbx_config]
newharborpbx*CLI>
-= 1 extension (1 priority) in 1 context. =-

Then I tried:

                3. Dial(DAHDI/g0/abbbcccdddd,,G(send))   [pbx_config]
[send]         4. GoTo(really-send)                     [pbx_config]
[wait]         5. Wait(999)                             [pbx_config]
                6. HangUp()                              [pbx_config]
[really-send]  7. System(env echo -e 
"Channel:${CHANNEL}\\nContext:send-test\\nExtension: s\\nPriority: 1\\n" 
 >/var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/call-${UNIQUEID}) [pbx_config]
                8. Wait(99)                              [pbx_config]

So then I tried faxing on the "called" channel:

                 3. Dial(DAHDI/g0/12036378447,,G(wait)) [pbx_config]
      [wait]         4. Wait(999)                [pbx_config]
                     5. GoTo(really-send)        [pbx_config]
                     6. HangUp()                 [pbx_config]
      [really-send]  7. System(env echo -e 
"Channel:${CHANNEL}\\nContext:send-test\\nExtension: s\\nPriority: 1\\n" 
 >/var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/call-${UNIQUEID}) [pbx_config]
                     8. Wait(99)                  [pbx_config]


But:

     -- Executing [8447 at outbound-fax:7] System("DAHDI/1-1", "env echo -e 
  "Channel:DAHDI/1-1\\nContext:send-test\\nExtension: s\\nPriority:

     -- Executing [8447 at outbound-fax:8] Wait("DAHDI/1-1", "99") in new stack
     -- Attempting call on DAHDI/1-1 for s at send-test:1 (Retry 1)

This can't be this hard to send an analog fax. What am I missing?
