Re: flexfax: Suitable faxmodems for hylafax

["Chris L." <msds@interpcserv.com>]

Fairly low volume. 10-15 / day received. I had tried other modems in the
past using hylafax and other fax programs (WinFax :(  ) and had trouble with
certain senders not being able to send anything. I was relieved to find that
the USR worked perfect (so far). I was ready to spend much $$ on a
brooktrout or other high end fax card (do they work any better?).

    We rarely use send (sorry I forgot to mention) because our received
faxes need to be signed and sent back most of the time.  Does anyone know
how I can sign them electronically so I don't have to print them? (Linux
server with WinNT clients). Right now they are mailed to user and viewed
with gsview and then either trashed or printed, signed and faxed back using
fax machine.
