Your goal is unattainable. A fax machine only generates the CNG tone in
theory: in practice many use the wrong frequency, wrong cadence, or
don't generate the CNG at all.

If you need to detect faxes with 100% accuracy, either you need a
dedicated fax line, or a "Press 1 to send a fax" IVR where you then
unconditionally call RxFAX() if they press 1.
