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.
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.
Interesting idea, how about using one or two HFC-S BRI cards instead (very low cost) or even a quad BRI for that?
The pri would be used for the PSTN connection and the BRI cards to connect to the faxes. Anyone ever tried it?
