Hi, We have a issue where one of our clients is receiving a high volume of calls from automated fax machines and passing through their context which means all phones get rung. I am looking for a way to detect the fax tone, on answer, and route it to a extension/macro where a announcement would tell them the correct number to fax to. The inbound calls are across SIP so am not able to use DADHI. Would this scenario be perfect for "Fax for Asterisk" ? All help greatfully appreciated. -- Thanks, Phil
Could you use NVFaxDetect?

Yeah sounds like you wanna use NVFaxDetect
it would allow you to add something like exten => fax,1,Swift("number
has changed"); to your inbound call part of your dialplan

I have NVFaxDetect working 100% with Asterisk 1.6. Check out this article in my blog on details of how I got it working: http://cloudsconnected.com/?p=57 Good luck!
