Sending A Fax With Variables

Asterisk Asterisk Fax
1

Hello,

I am hoping to build a context where I collect some variables (done), write these variables to a text file (done) and then send the text file contents to a physical fax machine for an end user to consume (via received paper fax).

I know I can use the faxsend dialplan command to actually send the fax, but how do I get the document “fax ready” (from .txt to .tiff?)?

Does anyone have any pointers or ideas on how this might be accomplished?

Typically use ghostcript.

Use with almost any word processor or http://www.polarhome.com/service/man/?qf=TEXT2PS&tf=2&of=IRIX&sf=1
