You need extra software, whether you use Asterisk 1.2 or 1.4, and its
the same software in each case. You either add spandsp, and a couple of
very simple interface apps -rxfax and txfax - directly into Asterisk, or
you use spandsp/iaxmodem/hylafax+ over an IAX link. The former has
issues, if you use G.729, as spandsp is GPL software. Using a program
over an IAX limit gets around that.

It is possible to use hylafax or efax with iaxmodem, but most people use
hylafax+
