Hello, has anyone managed to get this to work as i can't.

I have got as far as configuring freepbx to detect for a fax on a particular dialed number which seems to work, but asterisk answers then hangs up immediately!

This is when using an Eicon Diva ISDN card (Without built in FAX).

Should i be using NVFax for Zap for ISDN?

Any ideas?

If anyone is wondering, it

If anyone is wondering, it is a V4BRI Eicon Diva Server card. So there is no onboard FAX DSP. It just passes fax tones straight through.

If someone could please offer me a setup guide if you know of one, or just some simple instructions.
I really want to get fax to email and email to fax working and had such high hopes for 2.4.x, but i just can't get it working! Both NVFax and the Zap equivalent just answer and hangup immediately.
If i add a wait time in freepbx on the in-comming channel, it just waits for the time period and then hands up whilst my fax machine is sat there waiting for a handshake!

Incidently Asterisk never falls over, like some other people have mentioned. From looking at the logs, it gets the callers phone number, prepares a callerid.pdf file, sets up the mail address to send i too etc, but it just hands up and never handshakes with the fax machine.

Are the fax tones being blocked somehow maybe?
