The hylafax-v4.0pl2-rh5.i386.rpm binary is fine, and a definite recommendation
for RedHat users. The patches, fixes, compilation and all the hard work has
already been done by the rpm maintainer.

A lot of the 'stories' on this mailing list revolve around modems, and you
can save yourself grief if you ensure you use a decent modem with HylaFAX.

It is a good idea to have a look at the modems page in the html documentation,
or on the website at :
           http://www.hylafax.org/modems.html

and take some time to browse the mailing list archives at :
           http://www.hylafax.org/archive/index.html

Suggested search words are 'Zyxel' 'Zoom' 'Rockwell' 'Multitech'; please
avoid the 3Com/USRobotics Sportster range if you can.
