Re: [hylafax-users] capi4hylafax, external TA, ...

Hi,

capi4hylafax will not work with it. AFAIK it is programmed upon CAPI 2.0
which is complete incompatible with CAPI 1.x.

if you can use your TA is easily answerd, there are to possibilitys:
1.) your TA supports a normal AT commandset for faxing, like the 
ZYXEL Elite 264ID does), then you are in buisines and can use it to do
faxing with Hylafax, it operates like a normal serial modem.
2.) it does not support AT-commands, then you probalbly won't be able 
to use it with hylafax.
or you'll have to code a kerneldriver emulating the AT-Command set 
and konvert it to CAPI-1.1 calls......
