On second though, I think my suggestion that FFA and fax detect were mutually
exclusive stemmed from the idea that a call that was being
originated/answered/handled by FFA would have it's call disconnected and
redirected by fax detect.
If this is the case, it changes my dial plan logic, and I'm not sure I fully
understand what changes I'll need to make.
For all I know, it might even simplify things by isolating all fax handling in
one block.
