asterisk users - Jul 2005 - HOW TO RECEIVE FAX

Hi all!....i'm in course to implement Faxing in my asterisk box and for that
I've installed all succesfully like libtiff and spandsp and next rebuild and
reinstall asterisk modules, but when i call to Rxfax from dialplan nothing
happens and i get some errors like "XCN with final frame tag In state
9" or a paper copy of a transmision report from the fax machine with
COMMUNICATION ERROR CODE 41 error. My Dialplan shows like this over a Zap
channel configuration:

[macro-faxreceive] (called from a main dialplan script)
exten => s, 1, Answer
exten => s, 2, SetVar(FAXFILE=/var/spool/asterisk/fax/in/${UNIQUEID}.tif)
exten => s, 3, rxfax(${FAXFILE})

So, what i need to send succesfully Faxes from any Fax machine to  Asterisk?...I
have reading all about fax and asterisk and dont help me with my implementation.
What are the right configuration parameters that would show my ZAPATA.CONF  file
to receive faxes?
Thanks for any guide to solve this.

How are these faxes arriving in your * server?

If you have a line handler card like the TE400 types then this should 
not be a problem. If you are getting your faxes from a VoIP service like 
  Broadvoice then you should make sure that you are usling ULAW as the 
codec. Anything else will conpress the fax tones and when uncompressed 
by your * server they will not work.

Having said that, Ulaw may also not work. Many folks have no problems 
with using ULaw for their VoIP prover codec  but some folks do.
