I will try a few different packages just to get to know them and compare. 
Your word on Hylafax in a business environment is encouraging.
I dl'd all 7 disks for Debian, too ---- just haven't burned disks yet so I 
may get a Debian box going too.

What a dumb idea it was to realize a high speed application in more 
software than hardware anyway. I had a bad experience buying a PC a few
years ago with one and wouldn't use a Winmodem ever -- unless you paid me 
--- then I would go out and buy a hardware modem and use it anyway! I will 
look into Cypheus, Whfc and Ktcl, too.
