[hylafax-users] HylaFax 4.1.5/RH8.0 + MultiTech ISI5634PCI/4

[Joseph Blavatt <jblavatt@dynamictechnology.com>]

Since 11/21/02 my HylaFax server has been running very smoothly. To date I 
have received over 448 fax's (not pages!!!!). My setup consists of a Compaq 
Proliant 1600R Server, 2 450mhz CPU's, 1 gig RAM, 5 4.3gig SCSI hard drives 
in a RAID 5 configuration. The OS is Red Hat 8.0 Pro, HylaFax 4.1.5 and a 
MultiTech ISI5634PCI/4 multimodem card. I print to an HP LaserJet 4Si 
network printer. This entire setup is set to auto receive on 4 lines (not 
DID) and auto print.

I thought I would throw this out to help anyone and also receive help in 
improving my setup;

MultiTech;
 Originally I was running into some problems with any or all of the modems 
dropping out. It was sporadic and irritating. By the way, this modem drop 
out occurred under this fax servers original configuration which was 
Microsoft Win NT4.0 Server w/AccPacc FaxServer. I recently updated 
(flashed) the firmware to 4.25B which gave me the ability to use CLASS2.0 
and CLASS2.1 (after verifying that I had the V8 DSP (1673TV8) and the 
64Kx16 RAM (Alliance AS7C1026-12TC). It also cured my modem drop out 
although I did not expect that to happen.

Red Hat 7.2;
 I could not load RH7.3 or RH8.0 Pro on my Compaq Proliant 1600R server 
(until I discovered "loadlinux nousb") so I loaded 7.2 server. Everything 
worked well. No complaints.

Red Hat 8.0;
 I erased everything off my server and loaded RH8.0 Pro since I just 
purchased it. I have more than enough drive space (4.3gig x 5 RAID5) so I 
loaded everything. I had just flashed the MultiTech card to 4.25B and 
installed it. Work's great.

HylaFax 4.1.5;
 I downloaded, compiled and installed again. I have been busy tweaking this 
and that to get as much horsepower out of HylaFax. I'm still baffled as to 
the "config.ttyM1a,b,c,d script". I still cannot successfully access or 
display any of the captured fax documents (tiff) in the "recvd" folder. I 
can read these files from the server console (as root) or copy them to 
diskette and read them on any Windows station. I just cannot get the tiff 
files to open via IE6. By the way, an IE6/Win98 client station will read 
tiff files!!!! The print

In closing;
I have put in an enormous amount of time crash learning HylaFax. I have 
spent several "all nighters" tweaking and playing with Hylafax to get it to 
behave the way I want it to. My next task is to allow my Windows clients 
the send out fax's through this setup but that will be later. Until I fully 
understand and master the HylaFax settings I do not wish to unleash 100 
clients to it.

I have included a copy of my "config.ttyM1d" file for comment
