[Asterisk-Users] incoming fax x100p

[Simon Chappell]

thanks for the help

I have added exten => fax,1,Dial(SIP/2004) in my extensions.conf
What i can see from the CLI is that asterisk is reporting fax detected 
but no fax extension , have i got the syntax wrong or do i need to add 
it elseware

thanks again
