I've got spanDSP and Asterisk Stable using an X100p running on Fedora Core 3 but there is a curious phenomenon when I receive faxes. If I start Asterisk from the command line (usually, asterisk -c or asterisk -vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvcp ) I can receive faxes and mailtofax sends them to me OK. If I start the asterisk service (service asterisk start) that uses safe_asterisk, faxes appear to be received, but what actually gets sent to me is about a postage stamp PDF or in some cases the PDF just has errors "open file error". I'm guessing this is a timing or processor type issue but I'm not sure what the big difference is. I only see the spanDSP messages when I monitor the console after starting asterisk manually. I tried adding the 'p' parameter to the safe_asterisk startup and that did not make a difference. Anyone experienced this before or have some ideas on what to look for? I also see this warning 'Warning, flexibel rate not heavily tested!' but I think it is related to Music on Hold? Thanks. -Nate

Does your service script run as the same user as when you try starting in a normal shell? Check permissions on the spool dir, perhaps make it world-writeable and retry as a first test, if that works you can narrow problems down. Just my 2 cents Stefan M?rkle
