Uh? Do you need something special for you PRI line? 

As long as your hardware is supported by hylafax (active/passive isdn 
card) you're done. All my faxes are behind ISDN lines (BRI, S/T), while 
I'm using using analog outputs (with POTS modems) isdn cards should just 
work.

HylaFAX was kinda forked/branched into HylaFAX+, you can also look in 
there, but AFAIK main difference between both is about how fast are 
features incorporated into new reelases (while hylafax is more 
conservative, hylafax+ is more active and adds enhancements quickly).

I'm not sure why that comparative table shows PRI is not compatible with 
hylafax, but better ask in Hylafax forums/mailing list and tell them the 
hardware you are wanting to use. They will provide you an accurate 
response :-)
