The mistake is you have no "s" extension in [from-pstn]

You might try something like this:

exten => s,1,Wait(1) ;sometimes you need to wait to get callerid
exten => s,2,Answer()
exten => fax,1,Dial(IAX2/200)

You can't tell if it's a fax until it is answered.  Read up on the use 
of the 's' extension.
