David,
Thank you very much for the help. It works flawlessly. One thing I am seen
in my logs is:
WARNING[5830]: res_fax_spandsp.c:367 in spandsp_log: WARNING T.30 ECM
carrier not found
do you know how I can get rid of this issue?
I still receive the fax but I get a flood of that warning in my logs.
Thank you all for the help.

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
