     Fax detection is more of an Asterisk feature than the FXO card 
(although some cards have hardware detection).  All DAHDI/Asterisk 
compatible cards should be able to detect incoming faxes (if enabled via 
their chan_dahdi.conf configuration).  I have personally tested Digium, 
Sangoma, Openvox and Rhino cards and they can all detect incoming faxes 
and send them to the fax extension.
