[asterisk-users] Sending and receiving fax with Digium FFA

  The output of a failed incoming fax:

A failed outgoing fax:

It seems to me that I installed it.

     fax show licenses
     Fax Licensing Information
     ==============================
     Free fax licenses: 1
     Total licensed ports: 1

Also, @John, there indeed seemed to be a syntax mistake, but Asterisk 
never complained, so I didn't notice it. Unfortunately, even after 
correcting it the fax exhibits the same behaviour.
