I'm configuring a HylaFAX server for a small office using whfc.  There
won't be huge amounts of faxing going on, but I need to ask the
question. 

How much room should I devote to /var so I don't run out of space?

All my other installations I've reworked the Makefiles to install it in
/usr instead so I didn't have any problems (6 gigs of space), but those
were for massive faxing (2000 a day).

>From your experiences, what is a good amount of space?  50Megs?  300?
Default on FreeBSD (the OS for this system) is 30Megs.
