the 'faxdetect' parameter does one thing and one thing only: when a fax tone 
is heard, Asterisk will jump to the 'fax' extension in the channel's context.  
If you are using a specific DID for faxes you don't need that at all.

exten => 1234567,1,Dial(Zap/g2,,g)
exten => 1234567,2,Macro(handle-hangup)

is how I'd do it.

I'd define your PRI channels in group 1, and your FXS ports that the fax 
machine(s) are hooked up to in group 2.  If you only want one fxs port for 
one fax machine, then say Dial(Zap/25) or whatever zapata port the fxs 
machine's on.

Works like a charm for me, anyway.
