That depends on your definition of "work". If you mean will it cause the 
machine to function properly, sure. If you mean will Hylafax be able to 
use it to send and receive faxes without additional help, the answer is 
no, as others have already told you.

Hylafax needs FAX modems to talk to. The T100P card (and all Digium 
cards) does not have FAX modems on it. There is some work being done to 
make Asterisk be able to emulate class 1 FAX modems for Hylafax to talk 
to, in which case you'd be able to put Hylafax _and_ Asterisk on that 
box and then send/receive FAXes over the T100P card. That is not 
available today, though.

For Hylafax, if you want lots of channels and DID support, you will have 
to use one of the supported T-1 FAX cards: Patton, Digi, Eicon, etc. 
They are all very expensive, so be warned.
