Then, that's what I'll do.
On second though, I think my suggestion that FFA and fax detect were mutually exclusive stemmed from the idea that a call that was being originated/answered/handled by FFA would have it's call disconnected and redirected by fax detect. If this is the case, it changes my dial plan logic, and I'm not sure I fully understand what changes I'll need to make. For all I know, it might even simplify things by isolating all fax handling in one block.
