[Asterisk-Users] Fax detected, but no fax extension

[Brent Torrenga]

Well, I want to divert an incoming fax call to just play an error message
(please hang up, call my fax number...), rather than drive my secretaries
nuts. I have zapata.conf as faxdetect=incoming, and, in fact, I will get the
notice at the CLI that "Fax detected, but no fax extension". I guess that
the fax is not detected until someone picks up a ringing phone. So, before
Dial(${SECRETARY}), I insert a Wait(2) in order to give * a chance to detect
the fax, but it still does not care.

What am I missing? Do I need to ave a huge wait time before ringing
extensions, or do I need to play a sound on the line, or otherwise let the
calling fax machine know that the line is answered and it should begin to
play tones?

Sincerely,
