[hylafax-users] getting started

["Jonathan Vanasco" <jvanasco@hotmail.com>]

Hi all

I'm about to take a plunge and try hylafax.

I was hoping someone w/experience could give me a push in the right 
direction.

1) I dont even have a modem on my linux box.  I checked all the 
'recommended' modems from the docs on pricewatch, and they're either not 
there, or $120.  This is just an experiment to me, so if someone could 
recommend a cheap modem that works well that would be great.  (doesn't have 
to be one of those $4 modems, but i can't really afford $120 to play with 
right now :/ )

2) I understand that hylafax only really accepts ps and tiff files.  Thats 
fine.  I'm wondering which is more preferable though. I can't figure this 
out from the docs or the archives. If this works out, i'm probably just 
going to print text under some header graphic using python -- so i could go 
either way without much trouble.

I'd really value input from all you who have 'been there', because i'm a 
little blind going into this

Thanks in advance
