Re: [hylafax-users] large multiport systems

[Jeff Herring <jeffh@sldsi.com>]

We use a generic P4 box or a Dual CPU P3 box (more memory is better) with
Equinox ESP-16 Serial Provider(s) for serial ports and Multi-Tech MT2834BR
Rack Modems with great success.

The largest installation we have is about 50 MODEMs however... This 
installation
sends about 8000 faxes per day with each one being 2-3 pages and unique.
