That's definitely an idea.  If you don't need the Caller ID on the fax
(and in most cases, you probably don't), this might be your best
solution.  Assuming, of course, the faxmodems on Hylafax are picking
up the caller ID and you have Caller ID from the phone company.

That would take up 2 of your PRI channels, though, per fax reception.
