Hylafax/IAXmodem hasn't let me down so far, it works independent of
technology (it only needs alaw/ulaw). Jitter has the ability to kill
the transfers, but that shouldn't be any problem with ISDN.

Just create a bunch of iaxmodems and configure them in hylafax.

For incoming faxes to email I set the callerID name to the emailadress
in the dialplan and in etc/FaxDispatch set SENDTO to "$CIDNAME". For
outgoing faxes from email read the manpage of sendfax (save the
attachment, convert it when necessary, call sendfax with the senders
emailadress so notification get send back to the sender).
