You wouldn't happen to know how to do this would you? I currently have a box with both hylafax and asterisk installed. asterisk handles the dedicated voice lines over a t100p and hylafax handles the dedicated fax lines over a 4port serial card with external modems. It would be really nice if I could have them share the lines instead of having all the lines dedicated to either one or the other. The problem is that the only way to detect whether it is a fax is for asterisk to answer it first and then there is no way that I know of to send it on to hylafax.
Sure there is a way. A couple of ways (at least).
1) Get a 4-port TDM card and install it into your Asterisk box. Connect the TDM ports to your modem ports. Then forward incoming calls on fax DIDs to those TDM ports.
Currently this doesn't work. A FAX machine connected to a TDM card fails almost every call. It used to work OK. The TDM driver seems to be buggy right now.
2) Get another T1 port in the Asterisk box and get a T1 fax modem and do the same thing. You probably don't have the fax-demand to justify the hardware expense, though.
