You won't be able to do fax with this.

A Brooktrout-based solution is unlikely to be a good low-cost option unless 
you have an abundant supply of nearly free Brooktrout boards. You _MIGHT_ be 
able to get some TR114 boards cheaply since the TR1034 has obsoleted them 
(they're solid performers but a little slow since they don't support V.34), 
but generally it's fairly expensive kit.

In addition to the hardware, you'd need to buy a version of HylaFAX that 
includes Brooktrout's proprietary SDK to make them work. We have one we'd be 
happy to sell to you, but that drives the price up once again.

If you have any questions about Brooktrout and HylaFAX please feel free to 
give me a call at the number below. Options that will work with free HylaFAX 
include the Eicon Diva Server T1/PRI and the Patton 2977. The Eicon board 
will probably fax more quickly for you since it supports V.34, but the 
Patton will almost certainly be cheaper on the grey market (according to 
recent posts here - we don't sell used hardware ourselves).
