You should see if there is a way to adjust the fax server time to listen for digits. The Mitel will tone out 1 sec after the server goes off hook and this timing is not changable.

This operation has been used for years reliably for voice mail operation as well as fax server applications.

I have never had this problem you are describing. You may also try to make the hunt group circular to see if it works better.
