I'll second that.
Hylafax has can handle the job.  If you put asterisk in between you are

I've the following setup working with asterisk NVBackgroundDetect
implemented.
PSTN <--> asterisk <--> hylafax

It woks, I would say 90% of the time.  There seems to me some timing
problems with asterisk, see my posting with subject: real-time priority
