If you only have a single copper pots line, then you would need to get more physical lines, or find another way to get more circuits into your PBX. Rest assured that nothing about ReceiveFax stops you from answering multiple calls at once, provided you have the underlying capacity.

Hi all,
I realize that the application Receivefax can't handle with more than one
fax at the same time. In a environment with a lot of fax, some caller get
the signal but the operation can't be completed.
Is there a way to send busy tone to the second caller?

My guess is no. A possible "work-around" would be to set a global
variable
to indicate that the line is busy and to play a message and hang-up
immediately or to just hangup. Something like this:
- exten => s,1,answer
- exten => s,n,AGI(checkstat.agi) - reset variable if receivefax
died or hungup
- exten => s,n,Gotoif($[ "${FAXINUSE}" =
"YES"]?byebye)
- exten => s,n,Set(GLOBAL(FAXINUSE)=YES)
- exten => s,n,receivefax
- exten => s,n,Set(GLOBAL(FAXINUSE)=NO)
- exten => s,n,hangup
- exten => s,n(byebye),playback(im-busy)
- exten => s,n,hangup

Why would there be a restriction of one call? Steve

This is new to me, I have a fax server using Receive Fax and gets way over 5
calls at a time. [fax-in] exten => s,1,Answer() exten => s,n,Wait(1)
exten =>
s,n,Set(BASEFILE=fax-${CALLERID(dnid)}-${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},,%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)})
;exten => s,n,Set(${LOCALSTATIONID}) exten =>
s,n,MixMonitor(/mnt/ramdisk/${BASEFILE}.wav) exten =>
s,n,ReceiveFAX(/mnt/ramdisk/${BASEFILE}.tif) exten => s,n,Hangup() exten
=> h,1,System(/home/asterisk/dofax.sh "${EMAILADDRESS}"
"${FAXSTATUS}" "${CALLERID(num)}" "${....<snip>

Why can't receivefax handle more then 5 faxes at the same time? Are you
using the res_fax_spandsp.so or the res_fax_digium.so modules? It was my
understanding that the res_fax_spandsp.so did not have a limit and the
res_fax_digium.so was the commercial offering that is based on a per channel
license.
Am I wrong on the res_fax_spandsp.so module is there a limit other than hardware
performance?
