[Asterisk-Users] Autodetecting faxes

[Asterisk]

Hmm, a little more digging got me further : I found the option 
faxdetect=both needed to be set in zapata.conf.

Put this in. Works like a charm. Well, almost - the phone rang for about 
three rings before the autodetect kicked in and started the fax receive.

Getting there ..
