Hylafax works great. It really should have a class 2 or class 2.0 modem,
though, or you will be disappointed. I installed it on a Redhat 5.2 system,
only a 50mhz-486 with 16m, and ghostscript made it thrashed a bit, but it
worked. I'm not using it anymore because my modem (class 1) wouldn't cut it.
The class 2 feature is critical for reliable faxing, in my opinion, but
maybe your results would be better on a better pc.
Hylafax has a good up-to-date driver for win95 and win98 clients also,
complete with a hook to an ODBC database for the storage and retrieval of
phone numbers for an enterprise faxing system. You don't have to setup
the ODBC system, though. Normally, the win-boxes get status info from
special dedicated samba shares that you have to set up.
I'm going to set up Hylafax again, once I get a decent faxmodem. And I'll
use a more capable server, too, to handle the ghostscript and G3-fax format
conversion.
