I think it depens whether they refer to fax detection to disable echo

Neither. In most cases, 'FAX detection' in Asterisk used to to redirect the channel to a different extension in the dialplan. This is done by detecting CNG, so that the destination of the call can be changed to one that is able to handle the FAX transaction. Asterisk does not handle echo canceller reconfiguration for FAX at all; that's done by DAHDI or the echo cancellers themselves.

Hi,

I've been using the asterisk 1.6.X. Here asterisk can only detect fax tones with chan_dahdi. chan_ss7, sip and iax do not detect fax tones and therefore do not forward the call to the fax extension. I see mention of NVfaxdetect on the Internet, but it looks like this code is no longer maintained.

I've just taken a look at chan_sip in 1.8.5, and it looks like 1.8.5 can detect fax tones on sip channels. Will test this out later.

Asterisk 10 is still beta, and not suitable for production - but good for testing.

A.
