I was hoping you would have some insight on setting up hylafax manually. as in no GUI.

I do all my asterisk work without GUI (text files only).

The simplest way is to start with a pbx.
For example, set up a stand alone Elastix box, don't enable any of the extra 
things, just use the asterisk portion.

Once you've got the pbx working with at least one extension, you'll know it's 
ready for the next step which is faxing.

# Install NV_Faxdetect, NV_Backgroundetext and NV_Fax2email

wget 
http://www.elastix.org/components/com_joomlaboard/uploaded/files/NV_Apps_elastix_0.zip
unzip NV_Apps_elastix_0.zip
cp NV-Apps-elastix-0.9/*.so /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/
chown asterisk:asterisk /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/app_nv*
chmod +x /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/app_nv*
asterisk -rx "module load app_nv_faxdetect.so"
asterisk -rx "module load app_nv_backgrounddetect.so"
asterisk -rx "module load app_nv_faxemail.so"

To see if you've got everything installed ok, run the following.

asterisk -rx "core show applications like NV"

If you see the three items running, you're good.
amportal restart

At this point, you should be able to create virtual modems using the GUI, then 
make the changes in the inbound route of each DID you wish to receive faxes for.

I've heard countless times that Internet faxing is unstable and I'm sure it is 
but for one, if you're using a PRI, it will be stable always and for two, if 
you're using a reliable ITSP, faxes seem to come in reliably as well. As ITSP's 
are Internet based, there is always that factor of course.

As for Avantfax, that's an option if you need it but I really didn't take notes 
when I worked on that.

Not sure if this helps but it's a start.

  Yes, I've got faxing working fine but it's not on sipx, it's a stand
  alone server with hylafax/avantfax.
I have pools of did's on the mediant which are routed to different pbx
  machines.
I had found documentation that seemed to imply that the mediant could
  route based on incoming fax but it doesn't seem to be able to. You route
  based on incoming DID but you can have a pbx or fax server which detects
  the fax and handles it.

  Hi Mike,
any news from you regarding the FAX on median 2k? basically i using m1k as well and looking good solution for FAX
  from what i check either use..
  1) faxback (direct from m1k to this fax back without sipxecs   exp :
  PSTN--
  m1k-->faxback server  ) =====>use m1k to do the routing
  2) faxvoip(have assign one sipX account to let FAXVOIP register exp :
  PSTN -
  -m1k-->sipxecs-->FAXVOIP server )

  I have been working on a mediant 2k (5.6) configuration in order to
  allow
  voip calls to go to sipx and fax calls to go to a fax server. I have not
  found much documentation on how to do this so have yet to find a
  solution.
  One or two sipx users however have mentioned that they use sipx to
  redirect
  the fax calls using the dial plan, which is referred to in the above
  wiki
  link. I've been pulling my hair out for two days trying to figure this
  out.
  Is there any documentation or information on how to accomplish this, I
  cannot find any so far. Thanks.
