Having asked the obvious question, how about more details on O/S
details, HylaFAX version, config files etc. Perhaps the problem is
a O/S related one, and someone else here may know about it.

What sort of multiport board are you using? Since you've mentioned
that the faxes _DO_ work sometimes, but fail with the above failures
on others, I'd suspect that you've got a wonky driver or flaky
hardware.
