There are two primary tones used during FAX transaction setup: CNG and 
CED. Everything else used is modem signaling, which while technically is 
composed of tones, can't be simulated using a simple tone generator.

The PlayTones() dialplan application in Asterisk can be used to generate 
these tones.
