I need to setup HylaFax which leads to my first question, anyone got an opinion on whether or not to use HylaFax or HylaFax+?
Also, I have to setup a Digi serial port server for an external fax modem.
Any reco's on a robust unit that won't need to be reset often?
Thanks! jlc

We have been using HylaFAX for years (we hosted the mailing list back when it was still called flexfax :-).

We use Multitech modems exclusively, having tried many different manufacturer's modems over the years, they have consistently proved reliable, and rarely give problems. The MT5634ZBA has been excellent, although you might want to move up a bit if you want support for caller-id features.

Having used many brands, Multitech has proven the most consistent, compatible and reliable. USR used to be good, but then 3Com bought them.

Although I never had any problems with the Courier 56K V.92 Business modem or its predecessors and Hylafax. Oh, the AVM B1 worked too, if you have ISDN.

The Courier was designed and released before the 3Com buyout, IIRC. I have one of those and it was great until lightening apparently got it. By then 3Com had the company and the repair cost they wanted (exchange program I guess) was _way_ to high. It's still sitting in a corner awaiting a decision (umpteen years now).
I replaced it with a Multitech - having had good experience with their previous products - and was quite pleased with it.
