I assume that you mean that the modem will take the line off-hook, 
listen for DTMF digits, and then trigger an answer when a certain 
number of digits is received.

Yes, it's doable with HylaFAX 4.2.1 and with a modem that supports DTMF 
recognition (i.e., an IS-101-supporting voice modem).  Look for the 
"SHIELDED_DTMF" option for CIDNumber in 'man hylafax-config' for 
HylaFAX 4.2.1.  If you wanted to use current HylaFAX CVS HEAD then 
you're not required to replace CIDNumber with that information (if 
you're receiving Caller*ID with the modem as well), as the new CallID 
structure supports more than just CIDName and CIDNumber.

Neither, really.  It's considered DTMF detection.
