Just to clarify, pika's chan_pika is their asterisk channel driver for their hardware. The two fax applications, app_pikarxfax.so and app_pikatxfax.so are fax modules for asterisk to implement fax in your dialplan:
exten => 5001,1,Answer(1000); exten => 5001,n,Set(LOCALSTATIONID=123456789) exten => 5001,n,Set(LOCALHEADERINFO="PIKARxFax Test Page %P Time: %H:%M To: %l From: %r") exten => 5001,n,Set(FAXFILE=/tmp/pikafax-${UNIQUEID}.tif) exten => 5001,n,PIKARxFax(${FAXFILE}) you'd still need hardware to actually get the faxes to asterisk...
