Re: [hylafax-users] isi5634upci 8 ports

["support" <support@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Emmanuel,

Sorry, but I don't really understand your question regarding installing
lines on HylaFAX.... maybe someone else on the list will take a stab at an
answer ?

Mainpine do not distribute 'drivers' with our products because we use the
standard serial driver.  Historically, it was necessary to tell the serial
driver where the ports were located in the systems memory map using a
convoluted manual process (http://www.mainpine.com/linuxsupport.html).
However, Fedora now includes a plug and play mechanism which does most of
the work automatically (basically, you plug in the board, boot the system,
and Fedora creates the tty's automatically).  I don't know if this is also
true of mandrake 10 but I will try to find out... In the meantime, maybe
someone on the list can tell us.

Regards

Andrew

I don't gonna phone your line in UK, because I'm in France. But my question
is how may I install my lines on hylafax. If I have good understand your
help, I can define all my lines with the driver for my PCI card, and after,
I must install all the lines I use for send fax, one by one in hylafax
config.

Another question, is it ok to install your PCI card driver on mandrake 10.*
distribution ? Is there a rpm or .tar.gz file ?
