[Asterisk-Users] SoftFax question
Hi, I am looking at using the softfax that Steve Underwood has developed. It's very straight forward when you assign an extension for the fax. A function that several pbx's has is that they listen for the 'faxtone' for 5 seconds after 'answer' in the menu where you can enter your local extension number, it's normally done in parallel with the DTMF detection. I think that the logical solution would be if the DTMF mask given to the DTMFdetector could had a digit for fax or if there was a 'background' function that we could check on with IfFaxGoTo(xxx). I haven't been able to google any function in '*' that would help us with this so that's why I try the list in case I (hopefully) have overlooked something. The above function would be nice since you could share the same access number for phone and fax (like the old autofax switches). Secondly when people mistakenly queues a fax for you main access number it would just be dropped into the 'faxbox' instaedt of calling you 10 times over the next 20 minutes.
