I've personally had issues with hylafax. I dont know what it is or how to fix it, but what I ended up doing is using mod_spandsp and dumping the received faxes into a couchdb database. I have an example here (http://github.com/bdfoster/fax-to-couchdb). It's rough, but it might give you some ideas.
Take care.
Thank you,

Back in 1990's I started using a fax receiving programs (originally I found several solutions on
Windoze that were terrible). When I moved our server to Linux (2000) I discovered hylafax. With
hylasfax and a particular modem all has worked flawlessly for years. In the process I learned way
more about fax than I ever wanted to.
Now as I set up this freeswitch system, I see I can use t38modem as an end point. So my question is
has anyone been down this road with t38modem and hylafax? Or should I just use a FAX service? Do
these services work reliably with ALL the machines out there? (I'm doubtful)
FAX should soon disappear - but we still have customers in other countries that send in the
occasional fax. The issue is that different fax machines from different times have buggy software
that makes receiving faxes reliably a can of worms. What I have works, but I would like to get rid
of the POTS phone-line.
