Well, you can do something like this:

T1 --> TE405P(1) --> Asterisk --> TE405P(2) --> Patton 2977 --> HylaFAX

So you've got a TE405P with 4 ports on it.  Use one port to receive the 
T1 from the telco.  Use another port to connect the T1 fax modem 
(Patton 2977 in this case).

When Asterisk gets a call on a "fax" DID, then it just Dial()s it 
through to the other port, handing the call off to the fax modem.  This 
way Asterisk shouldn't be involved in anything other than "forwarding" 
the digital call packets to the fax device.

So, if you don't have another port, then you'd need to get an 
additional T100P to link up the T1 fax modem with Asterisk.
