It seems to me that I installed it.

Fax Licensing Information
==============================
Free fax licenses: 1
Total licensed ports: 1
Also, @John, there indeed seemed to be a syntax mistake, but Asterisk
never complained, so I didn't notice it. Unfortunately, even after
correcting it the fax exhibits the same behaviour.

Can you post the output of the Asterisk CLI from a failed fax call?
What you have looks ok for the most part, at least on the receiving
