Yes, this is possible of course with the Eicon Diva Server PRI (T1) card. This card provides a CAPI interface where you can connect Asterisk(with chan-capi) and any other CAPI based application like Hylafax. You can e.g. configure chan-capi to use 20 channels and the remaining channels configured in Hylafax. When you use a Eicon Diva Server with DSPs on board, you don't need to worry about CPU power, because fax-receive is done on the DIVA card. So you don't need to 'bridge' something here, it just works.
