asterisk users - Mar 2005 - Remove a channel from receiving inbound calls

I've got a small office setup with a TDM400 and 3 FXO cards.  I'd like
to
take away the ability of the 3rd FXO to receive calls (as this line runs
through our old-fashioned fax machine) BUT still be able to use it for
outbound calls.  With our original, and very basic PBX we could modify the
auto attendant on a particular PSTN line to pick up after 4 rings (which
would allow the fax to pickup after 2) while the rest of the lines picked up
after 1 ring.  Anyone have a simple way for me to do this?

No need to go to all that trouble. Zap can be set up to automatically
detect fax tones. Then you can configure incoming faxes to be directed
to you fax machine and do whatever you want with everything else. Gone
are the days of dedicated fax lines.

Look at the faxdetect stuff.
