I have managed to get spandsp working, and if I dial a specific
extension I can receive faxes. WhooHoo.
However, I was wanting to use the "fax detect" option in order to
allow
individuals to receive faxes, but can't get that to work.
Given the following extensions (mainly copied from examples on the
wiki), why is the call simply passed onto the sip device rather than
being detected as a fax ?

Spandsp is 0.2pre9
Incoming lines are E1 line 30 channels PRI.
Many thanks.
Julian.

Hmm, a little more digging got me further : I found the option faxdetect=both needed to be set in zapata.conf. Put this in. Works like a charm. Well, almost - the phone rang for about three rings before the autodetect kicked in and started the fax receive. Getting there .. Julian.

Yes. It just never gets there. I have tested spandsp and associated libs by using: exten => s,2,Goto(fax,s,1) and it works fine. * just won't auto detect the fax call.

Thank you. Worked like a charm. I never would have caught that on my own.
