asterisk users - Mar 2006 - Testing asterisk faxing functionality

I have asterisk with rxfax txfax modules.I want
to test fax sendig and reciving in one asterisk
instance, in extensions.conf I have :

exten => 1234567,1,rxfax(/home/patryk/fax-new.tif|debug)

exten => s,1,Dial(1234567)
exten => s,2,txfax(/home/patryk/fax.tif|caller|debug)

but I doesn't seem to work.But when I'm calling on this number I can
hear fax tones.
I can't find sip client with fax fuctionality for linux I think it would
help with testing.

I was playing with the fax stuff over IP on Friday. Unless you're
receiving faxes from a PSTN circuit, it doesn't work so well.

Also, I don't think you can chain txfax and rxfax like that. When you
hit the s,2 part, it's going to play the fax out to the handset you
dialed from. You'll need something like hylafax to send the fax.

And you probably want to call Dial(Local/1234567@context) to call a
local extension..

"You could always use System() to copy a call spool file to launch the
outbound fax call.  I don't really think a 3rd party app is necessary."

Could You explain this  please?  Or  maybe some links to 
documentation and examples  ?

Thanks Patryk.
