After running FreeSWITCH for a couple of years for our office voice phone system, I trying to get incoming FAX to work.
I followed the recommendation in the wiki, and set up a DID number this way:
<extension name="inbound_fax"> <condition field="destination_number" expression="^(my_fax)$" require-nested="false"> <condition field="${cond(${caller_id_name} == ${caller_id_number} ?true:false)" expression="^true$"> <action application="set" data="effective_caller_id_name=${cidlookup(${caller_id_number})}"/> <anti-action application="playback" data="silence_stream://2000"/> </condition> <action application="set" data="fax_enable_t38_request=true"/> <action application="set" data="fax_enable_t38=true"/> <action application="rxfax" data="/tmp/FAX-${uuid}.tif"/> <action application="hangup"/> </condition> </extension>
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. 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.
There doesn't seem to be a description for this symptom in the wiki documentation.
My provider is Flowroute. I'm using FreeSWITCH Version 1.2.7.

You seem to be making a mountain out of a mole hill. Unless you have some very specific need for HylaFAX, just install FreeSwitch and let it FAX for you.
