In Asterisk trunk (soon to become Asterisk 1.10), there is an 'F' option 
to ReceiveFAX and SendFAX that forces audio mode FAX even if the channel 
is T.38 capable. That would do what you want. I posted a patch some time 
ago for Asterisk 1.8 to add the same ability, but it probably doesn't 
apply any more... the it's only a few lines though, it should be fairly 
easy to replicate in the Asterisk 1.8 version of res_fax.c

How are you going to determine that you need to force G.711 to be used?
