Thanks Steven,
You are correct in assuming that I meant a PRI. I thought perhaps Asterisk would receive without problems. I should have done a bit more research. I think I saw a script somewhere that will print the fax after it is received.
So, I guess you answered my question. And since getting another T1 span is out of the question, I'm left with using an analog adapter.
What do you think would have the best chance of working? an FXS port on the Digium TDM card? a SIP adapter? or even the IAXy?
Thanks, Brian Arlinghaus

Basically, is there any way to send/recieve faxes over one of the 23 T1 channels that * is currently using. If so, how?
Assuming that you mean a PRI when you say 23 channels as it is unlikely that you would have installed 23 of 24 channels of a channelized T1.
With PRI, your DID info and anything else on call setup is in the D-channel on channel 24. Since any of the 23 B-channels could be your FAX line, you can not use drop and inserts.
With a PRI and with most of your FAXes being inbound, why aren't you using rxfax? It eliminates anything outside of asterisk and the T100P card. You do not need Hylafax.
As for Hylafax and the T100P card. Faxes are sent with analog modems, the T100P card does not provide any methods of dealing with the data inside the analog modem stream. All the T100P card and asterisk care about is getting the audio data moved around. Oh, an Hylafax doesn't provide an analog modem either.
If you must use an old dead tree processing fax machine, you either need to get an analog adapter or another T1 span and a channel bank to provide the analog port.
Another alternative is one of the T1 fax boards where you could just use a new T1 span and cross over cable to the fax card.
