asterisk users - Jan 2005 - spandsp app_rxfax - the sending software loops

Hi,

After a hiatus of several months, I decided to try spandsp again
because it is such an excellent addition to asterisk. Using 1.0.3 and
spandsp 0.0.1k.

When I send a fax from a laptop software fax that works with every
machine I've ever had to fax to, I get something like this as staus
return from the fax sending software:

- Getting Local ID
- Getting Parameters

and it loops like this forever until I cancel. On the * end, the fax
is detected properly, the app called and it even sends my a bad PDF of
about 2k.

One of our customers has a regular hardware fax and it can't talk to
spandsp either, or couldn't last time I tried. I have gotten spandsp
to work with one fax only, that was jfax (now j2.com) Ironically, J2
is exactly the service I want to replace with rxfax!

I've seen plenty about frame errors and such but nothing about the
symptoms I describe.

Anyone have any ideas?

Otherwise I'll keep waiting and retrying.

Having spoken to coppice, I built spandsp-0.0.2pre6 on his suggestion.
He made a change that detects asterisk version and handles the "cid
structure member" difference.

However, no difference is seen in our receive results. Sending
software still says

Getting Station ID
Getting Parameters
Getting Station ID
Getting Parameters
.... etc ....

This same software sends to any fax machine I've tried (at least a
dozen) so I'm more than puzzled.
