In reading this problem and the solution I wonder if it would be better,
(or acceptable to the users?) to send the received Hylafax fax to a
(network attached) printer of their choice. That way you eliminate the
need for special equipment (the fax machine) ?
I did a bit of research and found :
http://www.hylafax.org/content/Handbook:Server_Operation:Tweaking_and_Customization
That has a section on "Automatic Fax Printing" that actually address
this sort or thing.

Hi Bob,
in order to stop fax detection, send the call to a context without a
'fax' extension:
[incoming]
_XXXX.,1,doSomeStuff
; Hardfax extension
12345678,1,Goto(hardfax,1000,1)
fax,1,receiveFax
[hardfax]
1000,1,Dial(Zap/1|70)
1000,n,Hangup

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] faxdetect questions - Please HELP!
I'm using IAXmodem and Hylafax with 'faxdetect=incoming' and things
mostly
work pretty well. My main lines come in via T1 DID. Today, HR got
tired of
having someone read and forward their faxes to them and requested we
bring
their physical machine back on line. I have been able to get the fax
forwarded to the appropriate zap channel, but I cannot seem to get it to
stop 'faxdetect'ing. After deciding that it is a fax and sending it
to the
proper zap channel Asterisk says:
-- Executing Dial("Zap/5-1", "Zap/105") in new stack
-- Called 105
-- Zap/105-1 is ringing
-- Redirecting Zap/5-1 to fax extension
-- Hungup 'Zap/105-1'
...and Hylafax gets it...
Now the questions:
1) How can I have 'faxdetect=incoming' for my T1 context and
'faxdetect=no'
for my internal zap channels. (I'm assuming that this is what's wrong
here...)
2) Is it instead possible to disable faxdetect for the duration of the
call? E.g. exten => fax,1,zapFAXDETECT(off)
3) Is there a better way to mix detected faxes and dedicated fax lines?
4) Can anyone share with me a config that accomplishes this feat (both
detected and dedicated)?
