asterisk users - Mar 2005 - Fax receive issues and NVFaxDetect

Hello All,

I am looking to get asterisk to receive faxes but I really don't know where
to go from here, any help pointing me in the right direction would be great. 
What I would really like is for this second line to answer faxes, but if a user
typing in an extension it goes to that extension but I need to get the fax
working first.

Error I get when I turn on Fax conf...
pbx.c:1945 ast_pbx_run: Timeout, but no rule 't' in context
'from-Sipmedia2'

Fax Conf in extensions.conf
top 
[macro-faxreceive]
 exten => s,1,SetVar(FAXFILE=/var/spool/asterisk/fax/${UNIQUEID}.tif)
 exten => s,7,rxfax(${FAXFILE})
 exten => s,103,SetVar(EMAILADDR=my@email.us)
 exten => s,104,Goto(7)

[from-Sipmedia2]
;second line in or Fax line
exten => s,1,Answer 
exten => fax,2,Goto(fax,2901,1)

[fax] 
exten => 2901,1,Macro(faxreceive)
 
exten => h,1,System(/var/lib/asterisk/scripts/mailfax "${FAXFILE}"
"${EMAILADDR}" "${CALLERIDNUM}" "${CALLERIDNAME}")


Thanks,

I removed everything but what I needed to get the fax and email it to 
myself.  So this is all I have, Thanks..

[macro-faxreceive]
 exten => s,1,SetVar(FAXFILE=/var/spool/asterisk/fax/${UNIQUEID}.tif)
 exten => s,7,rxfax(${FAXFILE})
 exten => s,103,SetVar(EMAILADDR=chris@myself.us)
 exten => s,104,Goto(7)

Well, then you need to renumber the priorities! Below is a start. Your
code does not do any emailing, by the way... what happens when you set
the EMAILADDR variable? Nothing... you need to add a handler script to
send the email.

[macro-faxreceive]
exten => s,1,SetVar(FAXFILE=/var/spool/asterisk/fax/${UNIQUEID}.tif)
exten => s,2,rxfax(${FAXFILE})
exten => s,3,SetVar(EMAILADDR=chris@myself.us)
exten => s,3,System(SOME EMAILING CODE HERE)
exten => s,5,Goto(1)

"${FAXFILE}"
"${EMAILADDR}" "${CALLERIDNUM}" "${CALLERIDNAME}")

I'm a little bit confused here. Assuming the "from-Sipmedia2"
context is
handling your SIP appliance, how about the following (just moved around a
little of yours and added a line)?
> [macro-faxreceive]
exten => s,1,SetVar(FAXFILE=/var/spool/asterisk/fax/${UNIQUEID}.tif)
exten => s,2,rxfax(${FAXFILE})
exten => s,3,System(/var/lib/asterisk/scripts/mailfax "${FAXFILE}"
"${EMAILADDR}" "${CALLERIDNUM}" "${CALLERIDNAME}")

[from-Sipmedia2]
exten => s,1,Answer
; You need this line in here
exten => s,2,NVFaxDetect
exten => fax,1,Goto(fax,2901,1)

[fax]
exten => 2901,1,Macro(faxreceive)

Or you can use NVFaxEmail to eliminate the scripting, however it still
requires SpanDSP and RxFax.
Look on the wiki for more information. It's either NVFaxEmail or
NVEmailFax - can't remember right now.

[context]
exten => s,1,NVFaxDetect
exten => fax,1,NVFaxEmail(somebody@somewhere.com)
