Hmm, a little more digging got me further : I found the option faxdetect=both needed to be set in zapata.conf.
Put this in. Works like a charm. Well, almost - the phone rang for about three rings before the autodetect kicked in and started the fax receive.
Getting there ..

I have managed to get spandsp working, and if I dial a specific extension I can receive faxes. WhooHoo.
However, I was wanting to use the "fax detect" option in order to allow individuals to receive faxes, but can't get that to work.
Given the following extensions (mainly copied from examples on the wiki), why is the call simply passed onto the sip device rather than being detected as a fax ?
What we found was that the fax/voice decision was being made before the intermittent "beep------beep------beep" fax tone was being generated, so it wasn't being detected.
Changing the order of things in extensions.conf around a smidge got it all working nicely :-
[inbound-from-pstn] include => default exten => s,1,Answer exten => s,2,Wait,1 exten => s,3,Playback(thank-you-for-calling-please-wait-a-moment) exten => fax,1,Macro(faxreceive) exten => s,4,<Do the normal phone call gubbins>
The wait allows the start of the Playback to be heard by the caller - without it, we were finding the first word clipped. That second plus the duration of the "Thank you for calling" message gives enough time for the roughly 2.5sec duration between fax beeps to repeat, no matter when it last fell compared to the answer.
We've not checked more into the three rings before answer, but there's been discussion (here? elsewhere?) that it's down to the wait for caller ID. Try turning that off. TBH, I *like* the three rings - as a caller, it psychologically gives you time to get your head in gear before the call's answered.
Besides - If you're ringing from a mobile, it also gives you time to physically put the phone to your ear...
