Hello.

I'm evaluating adding a mail -> fax and fax -> mail gateway to a mail 
server.
I did this once, but more than 15 years have passed, so I guess I'll 
have to start from scratch.
I searched the mailing lists, but, again, the most recent threads I 
found are from 2005... guess much has changed.


Any suggestion on what software to use? Is HylaFAX a good choice?

What about hardware? Considering I can only a attach a fax/modem to an 
USB port, what would be a good choice?

  bye & Thanks
	av.
