I agree with Lee. I have about 30 machines in production using
iaxmodem
and hylafax which work perfectly. Most are running off of T1s,
but some
are on TDM400 and TDM2400s. I only use IBM servers (which are about
twice the cost for the low end Dells), and have never had to
resolve an
IRQ problem. I just looked up the hylafax usage reports on those
people
running the analog FXOs, and one of them had 390 pages in the last
week,
only one error, which I would consider acceptable.
Thanks,

1. Do you mean Hylafax and Asterisk are installed on the machine and
share the same TDM cards ?
2. If positive, do you have any extension which is used for both voice
and fax ?
For instance, user Alice receives voice or fax calls on its own
extension. When it's a fax, your server detects it and and let Hylafax
get the call.

Both hylafax and * are on the same machine and using the same PSTN
interfaces (whether T1 or TDM). It uses iaxmodem to communicate between
the two systems (imagine a softmodem). I'll create separate extensions
for the iaxmodems, then either map the numbers (or channels off the TDM
cards) to dial those extensions. You can also use the fax extension on
your default incoming to dial the iaxmodem. Faxgetty then listens to
the iaxmodem to receive faxes, and uses hylafax to send them to the
appropriate email addresses, printers, etc. In most cases I'll set up
separate PSTN numbers for incoming faxes, but the fax extension also
works relatively well. The only time I've ever seen problems with faxes
(or modems) is when trying to use a SIP or IAX provider over the
internet. To connect the analog fax machines I'll either use a linksys
PAP2 or Sipura SPA-2100. I used to use Grandstreams for that, but now
find that they just randomly unregister themselves and have to be
restarted before reconnecting.
To do the scenario with both on the same extension, it would just be as
follows:
[incoming]
s,1,<However you handle your calls>
fax,1,Dial(IAX2/<your iaxmodem extension>)
Thanks,
Nick
