Right, I'm not trying to access anything outside of the jail.  I've 
already exposed all of the required device nodes to the jail and it 
all works if I start iaxmodem and manually create the symlink from 
the host environment.  The resulting link when viewed from the jail 
still points to the jailed environment, which is fine since that's 
what I want.

My setup works perfect outside of a jailed environment.  Asterisk 
works fine within the jail (eg. voicemail, menus, etc.), just not 
iaxmodem+hylafax due to the symlink issue.
