[Asterisk-Users] faxdetect questions - Please HELP!

[Craig Guy]

Hi Bob,

in order to stop fax detection, send the call to a context without a 'fax' 
extension:

[incoming]

_XXXX.,1,doSomeStuff

; Hardfax extension
12345678,1,Goto(hardfax,1000,1)

fax,1,receiveFax

[hardfax]
1000,1,Dial(Zap/1|70)
1000,n,Hangup
