Hi Petr, Take a serial modem and connect it on your computer. (take a note weather you have put it in COM1 or COM2. Now fetch ftp://ftp.hylafax.org/binary/linux/redhat/RPMS/i386/hylafax-4.2.1-1rhel4.i386.rpm The hylafax project is by far the #1 choice for you. Follow the instructions and questions by the installation. It works smotthly. Remeber that incoming faxes are sent via e-mail to a human for final dispatching. The machine cannot read it --* Read the instructions on the http://www.hylafax.org site. My last installation was on a multiserial server with 8 modems incoming - outgoing. The machine has more than 100 days uptime and some 120.000 faxes. In case you need more assistance feel free to mail me in my private mail as this is not a CentOS exactly issue
Best Regards, Nikos

I take exception to that last point. IMO, any software to be run on a CentOS system should be a legitimate topic on this list. I'm sure others would benefit from a discussion about faxing on Linux.
Just my $.02.
yes, such topics are beneficial to lot of us
