Does this happen randomly or all the time?  The problem with just setting
one of the distinctive ring lines to "RingFax" or "RingData" is that the 
numbers tend to jump around a bit, averaging out at a nominal value of "3"
or whatever.  A proper implementation of distinctive ring call discrimination 
has to take this into account, as well as the other patterns in the 
distinctive ring which make up the distinctive ring pattern.   This  requires 
that the "RING" line not be sent to the DTE until the pattern is complete.   
This is accomplished through a judicious choice of parameters for your 
particular distinctive ring patterns in the At command "VDR=x,y" .

So funny you should ask this at this moment.
I'm releasing a patch for hylafax to handle distinctive ring soon, probably 
tomorrow.
