One would have to start hacking something into mgetty.  It was never
designed for this task, so it isn't really up to it.

If you run Hylafax only for the network clients, you don't need to use
Hylafax for *answering* calls - use mgetty for incoming calls and
Hylafax for outgoing stuff.  That should work better.
