If you have an incoming T1/E1 line:

telco --> T1/E1 --> TE405P/TE410P --> Asterisk --> TE405P/TE410P 
(another port)  --> T1/E1 fax modem --> HylaFAX

or:

telco --> T1/E1 --> TE405P/TE410P --> Asterisk --> TE405P/TE410P 
(another port)  --> channel bank --> analog fax modem --> HylaFAX


If you don't have an incoming T1/E1 line (you've just got analog lines 
coming in) then just get yourself another analog line for your analog 
fax modem and bypass Asterisk altogether.  Look up the archives for 
"TDM" and "fax" to get a synopsis as to why you don't want to run fax 
through Asterisk on analog channels.
