Well, the fact that you are calling the extension and hear the fax
signaling shows the that rxfax application is working, so far so good.

Have you set faxdetect=incoming in /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf ?
Also note that you need to have an extension named "fax" in your
"default" context.

Also look at http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+fax for helping info.
