<div dir="ltr">After running FreeSWITCH for a couple of years for our office voice phone system, I trying to get incoming FAX to work.<div><br></div><div>I followed the recommendation in the wiki, and set up a DID number this way:</div>

<div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I attempted to send a fax from an ordinary fax machine connected to a POTS AT&T line. The freeswitch.log file is not very helpful, it just says the fax was not successful. But I think I may have a clue from the behavior.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">When rxfax starts, I hear what sounds like the normal FAX answer tone, and my FAX stops sending the CNG tone. But the answer tone (is it the CED?) just keeps going. After a long time, I hear a brief lower pitched tone, then it goes back to the answer tone, until my fax machine gives up and hangs up.</div>
