You'll likely have to convert this into a .txt file to be include into Asterisk docs.

i think there's a bug in the dialplan

exten = s,5,NoOP(/var/lib/asterisk/scripts/mailfax "${CALLERID(num)}" "${CALLEDFAX}" "${EXTNAME}" "${EXTMAIL}" "${FAXFILE}" "${EXTCOMPANY}")
exten = s,6,System(/var/lib/asterisk/scripts/mailfax "${CALLERID(num)}" "${CALLEDFAX}" "${EXTNAME}" "${EXTMAIL}" "${FAXFILE}" "${EXTCOMPANY}")

there was a missing > symbol

I added the following to the end of [default] context.
Example 2.2

exten = fax,1,Gosub(faxreceive,s,1)


another one :)

I realize the right term is typographical error not bug :)

Actually it's neither.  It works with or without the >.

This needs to be formatted better. I'd suggest looking at the files:

http://svn.asterisk.org/svn/asterisk/trunk/doc/HOWTO_collect_debug_information.txt
http://svn.asterisk.org/svn/asterisk/trunk/doc/backtrace.txt
http://svn.asterisk.org/svn/asterisk/trunk/doc/distributed_devstate.txt

You'll see a common theme in the formatting. You should try and keep your lines to 80 chars were at all possible (i.e. non-code lines).

You can break the rule where it would make the formatting ugly, such as on long lines of code that can't be broken up.

I would also recommend actually creating bash script and uploading them along side your document.

Suspending for now until the reporter has time to format the document better.
