This is good advice anyway for when I build our Asterisk box in the coming months.

We currently have our fax line as a DID number on the ISDN/2 which the Samsung routes to an analogue extension which is then answered using Hylafax on a linux box. When we move to a full Asterisk solution I'll potentially just have Asterisk route the fax call via DID number to an FXO/FXS analogue line and have Hylafax deal with it as now.
