Hello, since I installed hylafax  (4.0 pl12 I think) over
a RedHat 5.1 Linux, I have had no problem to send faxes
with a USR Sporster Flash which was installed with the
standard "faxaddmodem" command.=20

The only problem I encountered was to send A4-sized
(instead of the default legal ...) to local fax-machines, but that's
an entirely different stuff I think.

I could send my config file if that helps you.
