Well, fax detection isn't entirely reliable anyway.  Even if you assume 
that your fax detection feature and operation is flawless in properly 
detecting fax tones (and that most likely would be a specious 
assumption), not all calling fax machines send fax tones.

So if you can tolerate it being not entirely reliable, then go ahead and 
use fax detection.  If you need reliable, then don't rely on fax detection.
