HylaFAX cannot do this natively, there is no configuration for it.

You can make some code changes to make it happen, though.  I've done it 
once for one client.  It's really an ugly hack.  HylaFAX was built 
ground-up under the premise that nothing should happen until the fax 
was completed.  Without a lot of recoding there's not going to be a 
"pretty" way to do this kind of thing (i.e., making it configurable).
