Sam Leffler is certainly a name well known to members of this project. I don't think hylafax was ever part of the base system -- FreeBSD itself -- instead it would have been in the FreeBSD ports collection. A quick check into the history here: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/comms/hylafax/Makefile?view=3Dlog http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/comms/hylafax/Makefile?view=3Dlog&lo= g_pagestart=3D100 shows we've had Hylafax in the ports collection since 1995, and the comments there indicate we used to have Flexfax in the collection previously to that. The ports collection does not contain source code to Hylafax itself; rather it is a set of instructions for downloading and compiling that source code on a FreeBSD system. Unfortunately it is rather unlikely that any hylafax sourcecode would still be floating around since that date -- unless someone just happened to keep some old tarballs for 20-odd years? You might try asking on the freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list: you're more likely to find some of the people who were around in 1995 or earlier through that list than anywhere else I can think of.
