A few years back I setup a system using hylafax for the office i was in at the time, it was connected to an old 33.6k fax modem (and then an ata :p) and worked perfectly, it was a bit of a pain to get it setup intially but once it was all going we had fax to email and using jhylafax cross platform faxing from any of our machines! ------------------------ Mike Woods Full of squishy cynicism
