I'm struggling to get my dialplan to work with a simple analog fax
machine.

I have TDM400B zaptel card with an FXO and FXS port. I have the FXO
port connected to the POTS machine and the FAX machine connected to the
FXS port.

The FAX machine itself works fine, I can FAX outgoing messages fine. I
can also dial the FAX extension from the internal context, the FAX
machine answers and I hear the FAX tones.

I'm struggling to get the fax detection to work, causing a transfer to
the FAX machine. I think the fax transfer starts, but for some reason
the dialplan "falls through" and the connection is dropped immediately.

This should be so simple ...

exten => s,105,Goto(5)

exten => fax,1,Goto(fax-hardware,s,1)

When the FAX call comes in, I get this:

I cannot figure out why I'm getting Auto fallthrough here.
Is (incoming-dial, fax, 0) expected? Why not , 1 ?

Thanks for any help.
