asterisk users - Jun 2006 - Receiving faxes and then sending them on

Hi,
I'm trying to setup a system where incoming faxes are received using  
SpanDSP and then send on to another (remote) fax machine. The SpanDSP  
part is working excellently, however I dont seem to be able to get  
the forwarding part to work. Heres what I put into my extensions.conf:

exten => s,4,Answer()
exten => s,5,Set(FAXFILE=/tmp/fax-${UNIQUEID}.tif)
exten => s,6,Set(EMAILADDR=ingrid.fix@offix-koeln.de)
exten => s,7,Set(EMAILADDR=${ARG1})
exten => s,8,rxfax(${FAXFILE}|debug)
exten => s,9,system(/usr/local/sbin/mailfax ${FAXFILE} ${EMAILADDR} $ 
{CALLERIDNUM})
exten => s,10,Dial(${ARG2})
exten => s,11,txfax(${FAXFILE}|caller)
exten => s,12,Hangup

Asterisk does start dialing at priority 10 however as soon as the  
remote fax hangs up that call gets destroyed as well.

Is there anyway to do something like this?

Kind regards,
Frederik Fix

what about making a callfile?
like s,10,system(make_faxfile ${FAXFILE} ${DST})
this file have to do something like this:

Channel: SIP/trunk/12345
MaxRetries: 1
WaitTime: 20
Application:txfax
Data:/var/spool/asterisk/fax/testfax.tif

than 
s,11,system(cp -a faxcallfile /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/)
 --

Maye you should use the 'D' option in the Dial application to proceed
when
the call is answered.
Not sure, and I don't have time to test myself, but give it a try!
