We have seven Multitech ZDS modems hooked up to a 8-port Rocketport PCI
serial card in a 160MHz 5x86 AMD based computer, running Linux 2.0.29.  We
calculated that we could achieve over 4000 faxes a day, if the modems where
going all the time.

Hylafax 4.0pl1 with a small patch of my own, works great with this system.
The fix I had to make had to do with the faxqclean program deleting fax
images before they actually had a chance to go.  This only shows up when you
are sending a LOT of faxes.
