[asterisk-users] FFA - Asterisk 1.6.2.6

[Warren Selby]

Sorry for the top post. 

A valid fax extension is an extension named 'fax' in the incoming context for that peer. I.e:

exten => fax,1,Verbose(1,Incoming fax call detected)
exten => fax,n,ReceiveFax()

You would obviously have a much longer definition, this was just a quick example from my phone. 

Thanks,

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...  :-)
