I think that this is part of the problem.  Our MAX TNT has about 670 modems
I think (I'm not quite sure, I'ld have to look it up).  I don't thinke we
really want 500+ devices that HylaFAX is talking to as serial ports which
have drivers communicating with the Rack BOX.  We have to find some more
feasable way to do it.
