For some reason ftp.sgi.com is out of date.

You can still find the up to date stuff on
ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/os/unix/networking/fax/hylafax/binary

INSTALL-hylafax-v4.0-sco3.2v5.0
hylafax-sco3.2v5.0-v4.0pl2.cpio.gz
gs5.10-sco3.2v4.2-tar.gz
INSTALL-gs510-sco3.2v4.2

Don't forget to get the font files for gs. (see INSTALL-gs510-sco3.2v4.2)


P.S. Make sure to remove /usr/local/HylaFAX-v4.0/cgi-bin/faxsurvey
