I have made some progress (?!). I found out there is an tttI manual that 
describes an interface to an isdn device. I linked /dev/ttyI0 to 
/dev/modem and hylafax recognizes it as a modem. I haven't get it 
Hylafax working on it however, there is a problem witdh the 
communication speed somehow.

minicom now opens the isdn- modem as if it is an async one. After 
setting a msn/eaz (?) ("AT&E<phonenumber>");  a call can be made with 
atd<number>. Now I need to get Hylafax to do the same settings.
