<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">We have a setup using a U.S. Robotics Modem Chasis with a little over 50 modems for faxing connected to multiple RS6000s running AIX.&nbsp; Our main problems have been with the modem firmware, and not the Hylafax software.&nbsp; However, we do have a major concern with Hylafax and the Y2K bug, but, we should be running numerous tests in the near future of our own, as on the corporate level, we need documentation that it is Y2K compliant.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Also, FYI, we send out, on peak days, approximately 7-8k pages in faxes.</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">We're getting ready to deploy a rather large fax application...I was</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">wondering, does anyone have any practical experience with the Hylafax</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">software and how much it can handle?&nbsp; We're looking at a four-CPU SPARC</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">machine running Solaris, with potentially 96 modems attached to it, and</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">potentially several of these machines.&nbsp; We're looking to use Hylafax,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">since it gives us the source to put in our own hooks and enhancements, but</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I haven't heard of anyone using it with more than 8 modems attached to it.</FONT>
</P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Any comments before we get started?&nbsp; As a side effect of doing this with</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hylafax, we'll probably have some nifty features of our own to release</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">back into the Hylafax community, but it it would be nice to hear of others</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">treading some of this ground in the past.</FONT>
