Why exactly would hylafax be a "worst case" solution only, why would you 
tink that that the Asterisk solution is better at all?

Hmpf... I've always found that to be a very bad replacement for an analog 
fax, at least as soon as you have to deal with more than 1 page. Plain 
old analog fax machines are a very well designed devices... ok, for 
receiving faxes some unified messaging or e-mail attachment is fine, on 
that part I can agree.

Cheers, Philipp
