It looks to me like you have two choices.  The first you probably
can't do.  That is, get a two port board in the Asterisk system with
the second T1 going into an Eicon Board in a Hylafax system.  Then,
you can assign DIDs with whatever web interface you have on this
Asterisk system to go to the second T1 port.

The second alternative is to get a second T1 and an Eicon card going
into a Hylafax Server.  This solution has a big monthly expense to it,
especially if you aren't fully utilizing all channels on your existing
T1.

I'm moving towards the first solution being we send out (and receive)
large faxes and the IAXModem solution, because of patent issues, is
not able to send at the faster speeds.  I've received complaints about
our slow fax machine.  The Eicon card can support the faster
transmission.
