Re: Hylafax

There is great ready to run add-on package for e-smith and hylafax.

Used that for a bit.  Great!

Drops incomin faxes into an I-bay (file share).  You print to a fake
printer to fax - you can also set it up to email to an address and fax. 
Very handy for faxing while "On the road".

Cheers,
RF.
