"Stock" HylaFAX won't work with Brooktrout equipment.

Well, it's not a driver, but yes you will need what iFAX has to give you 
or you'll need to get the API from Brooktrout and write your own 
faxgetty/faxsend for the hardware (and you probably don't want to do that).

I understand that Brooktrout wants to try to equate their name with 
"enterprise faxing", and I can respect that.  However, I think that 
you'll find user experience here that shows that you can have just as 
good, if not better, enterprise faxing with other hardware, too.
