Hi, I noticed a strange behaviour: Faxing using spandsp (TxFax) from my asterisk box to my old, common fax machine at home works fine. Faxing from the same box to my office pc-fax (Hylafax) also worke fine. Receveiving faxes on my asterisk box using spandsp (RxFax) also works fine. It is a PSTN number connected to the digium card of that asterisk box. Then I faxed from my asterisk box (TxFax)

> AFAIK the current recommendation is to use HylaFax with something called iaxmodem. After having been through a lot of problems with RxFax and TxFax I completely agree with this statement. Allthough the initial configuration is a bit complicated, once you have this running you'll get far better reliability. Kind regards, Ardjan Zwartjes.

Hello, I have installed SpanDSP and the apps txfax an rxfax. Unfortunately I am having problems sending faxes. I only get cancelled transfers. I am trying to send a fax to a ISDN card connected to a zap channel. I am using following call file: ------------------------------- Channel: ZAP/g1/25 MaxRetries: 0 WaitTime: 20 Application: txfax Data: /tmp/lVD3wy.tiff|caller Asterisk shows:

Hi Gang, I'm trying to make an application to upload a tiff via a web interface, slap a cover page onto it, merge the two into a new tiff and send it out via txfax. I'm able to get it out to a fax machine using this sequence: /usr/bin/tiff2pdf /tmp/faxout/1229978819_filea.tif -o /tmp/faxout/1229978819_filea.pdf /usr/bin/gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite

Hi, I'm trying to send a fax from a Zap channel to another Zap channel and I can't - below the logs. How could I solve this? Thanks!

somebody know how to compile the rxfax and txfax apps under asterisk 1.4.0?? i get this errors: Generating embedded module rules ... make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.

I followed the instructions at http://www.opencall.org/instructions.html and http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2003-October/025094.html I was able to compile spandsp (./configure ; make ; make install), "manually" patched asterisk apps/Makefile (/usr/src/asterisk/apps), as the supplied patch does not fit the actual CVS apps/Makefile After make clean ; make install, I

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, anyone else seen RX/TXFax crashing Asterisk on latest Asterisk SVN? I've now seen it on two machines I tried to set up - one it seems because the tiff file was malformed, but the other is doing: tiff -> tx fax -> zaptel -> pstn -> ddi -> zaptel -> rx fax -> tiff The above crashes every time. If no one else has

Per: http://soft-switch.org/spandsp_faq/ar01s07.html FAXing with spandsp keeps giving me core dumps. Its crap, isn't it? Actually the crap in this case is probably libtiff. Versions 3.5.7 and 3.6.0 seem reliable. The FAX image handling in version 3.6.1 is broken. All the core dump problems I have investigated turned out to be due to a very old version of libtiff, or version 3.6.1. I am

the attached log with verbose=6 and debug=6 refers. we've got a sangoma A104 (no hwec) with PRI ports 1 & 3 loopbacked to each other. we're trying to have txfax send out on one of those pri ports with rxfax listening on the other side, hence having asterisk send a fax to itself. we however have bad, and i mean really bad (<10%) success rates. we're currently using asterisk

I am also having problems receiving my first fax. I get a 320byte file (for a 4 page fax). If I look a the tiff generated, is just has some few dots. I am sending the fax from a notebook with Windows XP to an X100P and using libtiff v3.5.7. Has anyone successfully received faxes ? Output to the console as follows: Changed from phase 0 to 1 > Start receiving document > Changed from

I've been using spandsp and rxfax to receive faxes for a while now and over the past few days I've looked into the other side of things - txfax. I can't seem to get it working properly. I've included debug logs below of both the tx and rx side of things. I've tried three different servers, asterisk v1.0.6, 1.0.9 and CVS, FC2 and FC4, libtiff 3.5.7 and 3.7.1, TE405P and

Hi everyone ! I have some aditional info on problem with TXFax and sending multi-page TIFFs. I have made 6 different multi-page TIFFs (Group3 1D with fillbits EOL aligned - 3 pages one TIFF in lowres and one in hires, Group3 2D -3 pages againg in both resolutions , and Group 4 - 3pages in both resolutions), and then tried to send them to Panasonic KX-F1100, Panasonic KX-F500 and SpanDSP

I just want to pdf and email faxes coming in over pstn on a TDM400P. Outgoing faxes would just go out over pstn, not through asterisk. All the voipinfo , etc, howto's are quite complicated. And most use third party apps like Hylafax. I thought there was a rxfax and txfax in 1.4. And 1.6 had app_fax. I'm now using 1.4.22, but I'd go to 1.6 if it made this easier. But I've

Hi Steve and all, 1. Faxing from asterisk back to the same asterisk (from one Zap channel to another) doesn't work for us. Txfax called with the 'caller' parameter issues CED, while the receiving side needs CNG in order to switch to fax extension with rxfax. 2. This is probably the reason why J2 and our UC don't recognize incoming fax. Thank you. Alex Zarubin Webley Systems

Hi, I have two asterisk with the Digium TDM400 installed on the first and the TDM800 installed on the second. Both systems are linux Debian 4.0 whith kernel 2.6.18 and asterisk 1.2.24. Often the cards stop answering calls, and I can't make or receive calls; I need to reboot the system or manually reload the zaptel modules to restore it. I've tried zaptel versions 1.2.18, 1.2.19 and 1.2.20

Hi, I've a wildcard TDM400P card with 2 fxo and 2 fxs modules.

Dear All, I'm having problem with spandsp/txfax, I'm not able to send a multi paged tiff file, the fax machine receives the first page of the document and complains about communication problem. The file what I'm trying to send has 2 pages and is received & generated by spandsp/rxfax. Searched in the archives, but found no solution. I'm using: Dell Optiplex PC Inoteska Quad
