Any others worth looking at? We've used HylaFAX since it was called flexfax (and hosted the HylaFAX mailing list for a couple of years after SGI asked Sam Leffler to get it off SGI). It's worked well for me on SCO OpenServer, and Linux, but I haven't gotten around to trying it on FreeBSD. >Which fax modem cards are supported by freebsd? We've always used MultiTech external modems. They're reliable, cheap, work well with fax, and you don't have to reboot the system when a modem gets wedged. IMHO internal modems are to be avoided at all costs. Bill -- INTERNET: bill@Celestial.COM Bill Campbell; Celestial Software LLC UUCP: camco!bill PO Box 820; 6641 E.
