Fred Fred, I have utilized usr/3com fax/modems with hylafax on several servers and they worked fantastically. I've used the old 33.6 sportsters, the 561x versions and I think there was a 2960 or 2690. No problems with any. Both hylafax and kdefax work great. I set the servers up in /etc/ppp as dial in servers so they handle fax and ppp dial-in internet connections. Works great. Did you manage to get a fax server for a network setup though? I looked into it, but the instructions were too off-putting. (Rather poorly phrased, I think, but I just want to be able to point other systems to the fax running on my main system and have them fax from it without doing a ton of setup work, followed by telling the others in the network to use these new hoops in order to fax.) Yes, the funny thing is a lot of the clients were windows and the packages WinprintHylaFAX-1.2.5.exe on the windows side did a wonderful job letting all the client fax to the server..

Earlier I had given them a computer but forgot that they don't have high speed net yet and I didn't include a modem. Please tell me which modem you got since I will probably be needing that type to take with me when I visit them. Right now they are still using an old HP Vectra 486 that we gave them 8 years ago. That computer still has the US Robotics ISA modem which works great but since the new PC doesn't have ISA slots, we can't use the old modem.
