flexfax: Security Question

["Guy Pelletier" <Guy.Pelletier.guy@nt.com>]

Hi,

We have the HylaFAX server running on an Ultra-10 Solaris box
connected to our CORWAN (internal network).

Hardware info:
	Modem - USRobotics Courier V Everything (56kbps)
	Plugged into an Ultra- 10
	Ultra 10 Running the HylaFAX server Version 4.0 patch level 2

Because of secutiry issues in trying to get our security department
to provide us with a faxing line they need to some security 
information.

Below is the discussion that I have been having with them. I'm wondering
if someone can provide me an answer to their question.

First email ...

Guy;
	Can you provide some information on how the HylaFax server works and
how it protects against modem connectivity.

Regards..

Just so that I don't provide any incorrect information, I think it would be
best for me to point you to the HylaFAX website.
There you should be able to find alot of useful information.

Although one thing that we have done is:
In the Solaris AdminTool we have setup up the faxing port where service
enable is not enabled (this disables getty for that port).
Not disabling this, conflicts with HylaFAX which manages the port itself
with it's own process.

and finally his reply to which I have no answer ...

Guy;
	Unfortunately I do not have the time to research the HylaFax product
that you would like to use. Do you have someone there that is familiar with
the product and can explain to me what the security features are to prevent
non-fax access.

Thanks!
