If people have problems with winfax running under
windows (natively speaking), you think using Wine
would be better?

The good of HylaFAX is that you can access the source
code. If no one showed interest on porting HylaFAX to
windows maybe it's because there is a reason (or no
reason at all), to not do it.

But, if someone *really* want it I think there are
only two ways: doing it yourself or paying for it.
Where the problem is I think it's the big question.
