In fact we have 45 modems connected now !!

The version we're using now is v4.1 with some additional patches
(mainly for the RTN problem). As we have the system running smoothly
and also we have made some modifications (some optimization) so we don't
plan for any upgrade. We are sending 1500 - 3500 pages of FAX a day. The
reason that we installed so many modems is that we want to have our messages
sent to our clients as soon as possible and we have over a hundred of clients
for some of our messages.

So far we found HylaFAX very reliable. We only have RTN problems with
one client and the problem is fixed by reducing fax speed (I'll try 
Dmitry's patch
later).

Please let me know if any further information is required.
