Yes, which is why I disable faxdetect entirely.  My sister-in-law was 
constantly being detected as a fax machine several minutes into 
conversations with my wife.  As funny as that may seem at first ... 
those two eventually make it a not-so-funny situation for me.

The fax detection should, in theory, only be looking for CNG tones and 
should, in theory, only be looking for them during the first several 
seconds of a call.  Analogue DTMF tones should not be detectable as CNG, 
in theory.
