Just finished installing incrediblefax11 on my RPi, and am not getting the faxes to send out. Here's my log:

I have looked at extensions-custom.conf, and my from-fax context looked like this:
Code:
[from-fax]
exten => _x.,1,Dial(local/${EXTEN}@from-internal)
exten => _x.,n,Goto(outbound-allroutes,,1)
exten => _x.,n,Hangup
so I changed the second line to this per the instructions in another thread:
Code:
[from-fax]
exten => _x.,1,Dial(local/${EXTEN}@from-internal)
exten => _x.,n,Goto(outbound-allroutes,${EXTEN},1)
exten => _x.,n,Hangup
but the problem still exists.

I would not put it past me that I configured something wrong. I'm trying to use GV for the outgoing (hence the "1" prefix). If I dial that fax number directly with phone, I hear the receiving fax machine answer, so I know it's there.

Wow. That did it. It went right out GV when removing the prefix (1 or 9 when trying other providers). Confirmed the fax shows up on Fax Toy.

My google-fu is failing me to get the fax working. AvantFax page reports no dial tone when attempting to fax out. Inbound faxes are not working either. This is on a Pi2 and using GVoice. After initial GV setup the voice line worked.. I changed the config file as mentioned in your blog post to activate the fax, rebooted, restarted etc to no effect. One post found mentioned changing the dialout string for the modems (see http://blog.agate.io/post/25504962228/hylafax-no-local-dialtone-solved) but scowering the configs I couldn't find the location of the string to test. Any ideas?
