Everyone,
Just thought I would drop a line telling everyone here I have the software
RxFAX/TxFAX up and running without any real problems. I did have to.....
RH 9.0
1) Install an audio devel rpm
1) install libtiff from source, and copy over a bunch of include files to
/usr/local/include
2) build/install spandsp
3) move app_rxfax.c and app_txfax.c to apps/ dir in asterisk source tree.
4) move Makefile.patch from oncall to apps/ dir in asterisk
5) patch the makefile
6) edit the makefile and remove all references to steve's home dir to make
it point to my spandsp source directory.
7) rebuild/install asterisk
8) Create a dir incoming/ in /var/spool/asterisk
9) edit extensions.conf and add the following line to the incoming call
contexts I have set up.
exten => fax,1,RxFAX(/var/spool/asterisk/incoming/${CALLERIDNUM}.tif)
10) create a script that emails me the tif files every time they are
received in incoming/ and delete them.
#/bin/sh
cd /var/spool/asterisk/incoming
for X in *.tif
do
if [ -f $X ] ; then
mutt -s "FAX from $X" -a $X laugh@anistonetech.com
<
/dev/null
rm $X
fi
done
11) Add a cronjob to run my script every 5 minutes.
*/5 * * * * /usr/sbin/mailfax
12) Test and enjoy.
To send a fax all I have to do is....
1) Get the .tif file on the server somewhere
2) Put a file sample.call in the /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/ directory and
it looks like this...
Channel: Zap/3/7989106
Application: txfax
Data: /root/fax.tiff
3) Asterisk will send it or keep trying until it send it as soon as I :wq
the file in vi.
Pretty simple, I hope this helps someone else.

Great job Steve! To share my own experiences: I have tested using an X101P and a E1. The E1 tests failed but that might have to do with errors am getting on the line. The X101 worked fine many times. I had one or two cases where my fax machine thought it had sent the fax ok, but when I looked at the image it only the first so many lines of the fax had been received by rxfax. Also I notice that on the X101 the line is not hangup correctly once the fax is saved. I have to kill and restart *. txfax never once gave me problems. But as a start it is pretty good!
