The appears to be a problem with the "install-incredfax2" install script. I have tried 4 completely clean installations with purple and brown starting with the pbxinaflash20644-i386.iso build and the Avantfax shows "ttyIAX0 [Please wait]" for all "modems".
After two very long frustrating days I finally started to capture installation error messages and found this during the Hylafax portion of the incredfax2 installation which blazes by during the installation process:
-----------------------
FATAL ERROR: /var/spool/hylafax/archive does not exist or is not a directory!
The directory /var/spool/hylafax/archive does not exist or this file is not a directory. If
the HylaFAX software is not yet installed you must do so before running
this script. If the software is installed but is configured for use in
a different location than this script expects then the software will not
function correctly.
Hylafax is now setup
-------------------------
There are many other errors but this one appears to be the deal breaker. The rest may go away when this is resolved. There are many directories missing from /var/spool/hylafax that are normally found in a functioning system and the permissions are 0755.
Does anyone know a solution to this problem?
I really don't want to go back to a much older build of piaf for this installation.

I tried that but errors are generated right out of the box like:
ERROR Dahdi Seems to have failed to compile!
This install will continue but you may have to hand compile Dahdi! Please check the /var/log/install-green.log
Press ENTER to continue!...

And:

ERROR Asterisk green seems to has failed to compile!
This install will continue but you may have to hand compile Asterisk!...

Time is precious and I don't have the time right now to chase installation errors. So I am going to find an older ISO and wait until the dust settles on these newer versions.

If PIAF-Green fails, it's because the digium.com site is dead. All the other flavors will fail as well. It's the same repository.

Just downloaded and installed PIAF-Green. As of 2 p.m. EDT today, it installs just fine. If it doesn't work for you this afternoon, then you've got a network problem, not a PIAF-Green problem.

Ward, any thoughts when this might be resolved. Am too installing on Purple (which I had before).

Kind of using Purple as my stable production install, especially since it still works reasonably well with the Aastra XML scripts.

Thanks
Scott

boeingpilot and gotallie: We've modified Incredible Fax 11 so that it now can be installed with PIAF-Purple and PIAF-Brown as well. Good luck!

Code:
cd /root
wget http://incrediblepbx.com/incrediblefax11.sh
chmod +x incrediblefax11.sh
./incrediblefax11.sh

Trying it now, thanks Ward!

(update) - I let the script run with defaults. Appears to be up and running, Avantfax showing modems idle.

This install will be replacing an old T_ixbox install, so need to find some time to move trunks and extensions over for testing.

Thanks again, looks good so far
