Hi Larry,

Ok. It looks like I don't understand the asterisks context and macro
system deep enough.

I tried to set

======
; Faxe fuer Ruben
exten => 38444421,1,Macro(faxin,ruben.roegels at jumping-frog.org,${EXTEN})
exten => h,1,System(/usr/local/bin/fax2mail.sh ${FAXFILE} ${TO})
======

Of couse I have to set up some number filtering but now, my bash script
is beeing executed.

So, as I understand the thread you gave me to read, the h-extension is
called in the context from which the macro is called and not in the
macro itself? This could explain why it works now.

Anyway, thank you for giving me the opportunity to look beyond my own
backyard!

Regards,
Ruben
