Re: flexfax: [Hylafax] Questions & Problems

Check out

for some info (possibly outdated, though) on USR modems.  

I originally tried setting up HylaFax with a USR Sportster 56K modem,
and had all kinds of trouble.  The best I could ever get out of it was
something like a 70% success rate (for incoming and outgoing faxes).
This is on a RH 6.0 system.

Of course, I'm sure some of that is due to my lack of
knowlege/experience with HylaFax and fax protocols in general.  However,
after switching to a recommended modem (see:
http://www.hylafax.org/modems.html, I chose the Multi-Tech MT2834ZDX)
all my problems went away and I look like a genius :)

Anyway, that's just my (limited) experience...
