Sorry for the top post. 

A valid fax extension is an extension named 'fax' in the incoming context for 
that peer. I.e:

exten => fax,1,Verbose(1,Incoming fax call detected)
exten => fax,n,ReceiveFax()

You would obviously have a much longer definition, this was just a quick 
example from my phone.
