Thank you very much, indeed I did not know that. So I tried it,
specifying faxdetect=incoming only for the last (POTS) channel. It
appears to have sent an outgoing fax correctly, at least it doesn't
complain about it being busy. I'll know when I get to work tomorrow
whether the fax actually arrived. I can also send one from there to
here, to make sure it actually does detect the incoming fax and route it
properly.
