Everyone,
Just thought I would drop a line telling everyone here I have the software RxFAX/TxFAX up and running without any real problems. I did have to.....
RH 9.0
1) Install an audio devel rpm
1) install libtiff from source, and copy over a bunch of include files to /usr/local/include
2) build/install spandsp
3) move app_rxfax.c and app_txfax.c to apps/ dir in asterisk source tree.
4) move Makefile.patch from oncall to apps/ dir in asterisk
5) patch the makefile
6) edit the makefile and remove all references to steve's home dir to make it point to my spandsp source directory.
7) rebuild/install asterisk
8) Create a dir incoming/ in /var/spool/asterisk
9) edit extensions.conf and add the following line to the incoming call contexts I have set up. exten => fax,1,RxFAX(/var/spool/asterisk/incoming/${CALLERIDNUM}.tif)
10) create a script that emails me the tif files every time they are received in incoming/ and delete them.
#/bin/sh cd /var/spool/asterisk/incoming for X in *.tif do if [ -f $X ] ; then mutt -s "FAX from $X" -a $X [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null rm $X fi done
11) Add a cronjob to run my script every 5 minutes. */5 * * * * /usr/sbin/mailfax
12) Test and enjoy.
To send a fax all I have to do is....
1) Get the .tif file on the server somewhere
2) Put a file sample.call in the /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/ directory and it looks like this...
Channel: Zap/3/7989106
Application: txfax Data: /root/fax.tiff
3) Asterisk will send it or keep trying until it send it as soon as I :wq the file in vi.
Pretty simple, I hope this helps someone else.

WHat is the chance, that digium will put this application into CVS?
Zero...... until its a bit more polished, and then close to 100% :-)
