Hi,

I've been using the asterisk 1.6.X. Here asterisk can only detect fax 
tones with chan_dahdi. chan_ss7, sip and iax do not detect fax tones and 
therefore do not forward the call to the fax extension. I see mention of 
NVfaxdetect on the Internet, but it looks like this code is no longer 
maintained.

I've just taken a look at chan_sip in 1.8.5, and it looks like 1.8.5 can 
detect fax tones on sip channels. Will test this out later.

Asterisk 10 is still beta, and not suitable for production - but good 
for testing.
