Thanks to the helpful people on the conference call, I got HylaFAX working today. It turned out I needed to set not only the "fax_enable_t38" variable, but also the "fax_enable_t38_request" variable. Further input showed that the best solution was to change the context in the spandsp.conf.xml from "default" to "hylafax", and make a separate "hylafax" dialplan that has this:
<include>
<context name="hylafax">
<extension name="FAX" continue="true">
<action application="set" data="fax_enable_t38=true"/>
<action application="set" data="fax_enable_t38_request=true"/>
<action application="t38_gateway"/>
</extension>
...then the normal dialing rules.
But as usual, I still have problems. :-(
Now I can't get the old analog FAX machine to successfully send FAXes. I have it plugged into a cheap ATA, the
OBi. It seemed to be working at one time, but that may have been a fluke. On calls through it, I have fax_enable_t38 and fax_enable_t38_request set, and I also set "execute_on_answer=t38_gateway peer" before the call is bridged to the gateway.
Should I be using something else?
