I just checked, and faxdetect is not enabled on any peer. I was 
wondering if any time condition could disturb my tests yesterday night 
(I was testing way after office close hours) but no, there's no impact. 
Asterisk still does not detect incoming fax.

I just found, while reading the doc. I have to detect fax in legacy mode 
in order for Fax For Asterisk to do the detection correctly. Well, for 
now, as this is deprecated. I now know that the detection works and that 
I'll have, in a near future, remove the legacy detection and route 
incoming fax to a valid fax destination....  I'll have to understand 
what a valid fax extension is...  :-)
