[Asterisk-Users] Question about the 'fax' extension

[Marc Storck]

If you use extension dedicated to fax, then you don't need to use the 
fax extenstion, but just call the rxfax application directly as you 
would call the answer application

exten => 123456,1,rxfax(.......)

But of course you may just use different fax extensions for different 
contexts.

Regards,

Marc
