I have the configuration below and its fine (usr usb modem plugged back 
into the
asterisk machine with hylafax) but I intend to replace with a software only
config now that they are mature enough. didn't exist yet when this setup was
built. it eliminates a device, some cables, and frees up a channel bank port.


I have still found though the odd fax just won't go through, so I have a real
fax machine hooked up that is used for outbound anyway, and have people dial
that extension if the automatic setup just refuses to work with the fax on
their end.
