I don't follow. Sorry.

Now might be a good time to post this, since Tzafrir asked, it looks very much like bits I have seen on the net. I did see what appeared to be the analog_fax part when checking at CLI.

So, I would surmise it detected the FAX and is trying to deal with it, but the number derived via LDAPget is hosed? It just ends up hanging up and not dialing any extension.

{begin snippet]
[ext-fax]
exten => s,1,Answer
exten => s,2,Goto(in_fax|1)
exten => in_fax,1,GotoIf($[${FAX_RX} = system]?2:analog_fax|1)
exten => in_fax,2,Macro(faxreceive)
exten => in_fax,3,system(tiff2ps -2eaz -w 8.5 -h 11 ${FAXFILE} | ps2pdf - ${FAXFILE}.pdf)
exten => in_fax,4,system(mime-construct --to ${EMAILADDR} --subject "Fax from ${CALLERID(num)} ${CALLERID(name)}" --attachment ${CALLERID(num)}.pdf --type application/pdf --file ${FAXFILE}.pdf)
exten => in_fax,5,system(rm ${FAXFILE} ${FAXFILE}.pdf)
exten => in_fax,6,Hangup
exten => analog_fax,1,GotoIf($[foo${FAX_RX} = foo]?3:2)
exten => analog_fax,2,LDAPget(DIAL=xxxxxxxxDeviceDial/${FAX_RX})
exten => analog_fax,3,Dial(${DIAL}|20|d)
exten => analog_fax,4,Hangup
exten => out_fax,1,txfax(${TXFAX_NAME}|caller)
exten => out_fax,2,Hangup
exten => h,1,Hangup()
[end snippet]
