We're currently using the MT5634ZBA externals which work very well. They do not support the fancier caller-id features that some of the more expensive Multitechs do so HylaFAX cannot route incoming faxes based on the calling number. I put that in the nice-to-have category, and isn't critical to our operations. I have also used their MT2834ZDX, but had some flow control problems which caused us to move to the MT5634ZBA. I have done extensive testing on modems from many manufacturers, and the only ones I've found that have been really reliable are the Multitechs and Telebits (I still have three Worldblazers and a couple of Trailblazers sitting on the shelf from our old dialup uucp days). Our setup here has a channel bank with incoming voice and data on a single T1 so we are digital to that point, with the Multitechs plugged into POTS ports off of an RJ-21 connector to a patch panel.
