RE: flexfax: Recommendations for a 4 port Modem card for Linux

[wsuetholz@centonline.com]

We use Comtrol's RocketModems here.  Currently using VSI-Fax, but I had
them working with Hylafax as well.  You can get 4 or 8 or 6(?) Modem cards
in either ISA or PCI versions.  The drivers are already in linux.
