The fax dispatch function corrected. Fax dispatch can be found in interface/fax.&nbsp; please review and test the code.

Hi,  
Is there confirmation that this also works in linux?

[faikvm.com](http://faikvm.com) probably has an OpenEMR instance available that is running on Linux.&nbsp; Julia should be able to get you more details, because she runs the service.&nbsp; However, I’m pretty sure it is meant to be available to all OpenEMR developers and testers.

Hi  
Had a problem with github, so deleted the repository and recreated everything. The commit pointer thus changed:  
[https://github.com/arnabnaha/openemr/commit/436d22c0057cac64a8c872b9c5de3cbc88013960](https://github.com/arnabnaha/openemr/commit/436d22c0057cac64a8c872b9c5de3cbc88013960)  
Please take a look. Changed it in the trackers too.  
Brief description of the problem:  
The Fax/scan in Miscellaneous section of openemr, works well. On scanning a file, there is a dispatch option present. This option helps in connecting the file with the patient encounter or with the patient document. A very useful feature indeed. It was not working initially. I requested ZH Healthcare to take a look at it and they corrected it, but still it was not properly corrected. After correction, on clicking dispatch, it first shows a white screen withan error “mkdir returned:4” Clicking it again, show the window where we can choose the options and do many more things. But o clicking oK, it just doesnot work.

Please take a look at it!  
Thanks!
