If coming in on a Zap channel, then: In /etc/zapata.conf in the relevant channel definition you need: faxdetect=incoming Then in the dialplan you need to answer the incoming call (as you've no other way of telling if it's a FAX calling), and listen in for a second or 2 (with a Wait(2) instruction), then if it's an incoming FAX, asterisk will jump to the fax extension, then you can Dial the hylafax extension, etc. Or if it's not a fax, at this point the caller is now paying for the call, because you've answered it, so be nice to them - play a message, ring the phones, etc. Personally, for a simple installation like this, I'd install spandsp, rxfax & txfax and not use hylafax, but if hylafax is something you're used to then go that route...
