Yep! That's what I'm trying right now. I've got a Visual FoxPro app to 
handle the numbers of customers with email addresses and other info. I 
got hylafax working fair using samba to get me between the Win box and 
the Linux Fax server but it felt clunky. I've since found some activeX 
controls from Mabry that handle the FTP side of things. Although my 
coding techniques using Ole and OCX's isn't that good yet, the app seems 
to be getting close. If anyone wants to talk about the control contact me 
off list and I'll help if I can. I too though seem to really have a 
problem figuring out this "data port" portion of the PORT command though.
