Yes.  I've not investigated the Eicon approach that you suggest below, 
but if you can get the audio lossless into Asterisk (Zap, ISDN, 
whatever) then you could use iaxmodem to bridge between Asterisk and 
HylaFAX.

I don't know if this would work or not.

HylaFAX has to talk to a modem device, so I don't know how Asterisk 
would bridge it to HylaFAX without some intermediary device like an 
iaxmodem.

You could have as many or as few as you wanted.
