What are your favorite fax programs these days?

[dave morton]

We use hylafax for all our offices. It will run on a basic pentium and 
never fails. We send over 2000 pages / month and receive about 600 / 
month. It can be installed as a RPM or you can install it on a Debian 
box using apt.

It works best using ISA modems (not winmodems). Client software for the 
pc's can be Cypheus (fancy) or Whfc (windows for hylafax client) a 
really basic interface. For the linux box use the KTcl package for ease 
and simplicity of operation.

Add a scanner for tif production and you are really in business to start 
blasting faxes all over the universe.
