[hylafax-users] Fw: Fax Server Hardware



I am running an old pentium 233, 96MB of memory and IDE disk with Redhat
7.1. We have 2 incoming and 1 outbound fax line. The box is pretty stripped
down, pretty much just running HylaFAX, OpenSSH and Sendmail, and it never
seems to be fazed. The faxes are not kept on that box, they are mailed to
their recipients, so I'm not too worried about a disk failure. It would seem
to me that a 'server' class machine would be horrible overkill if it were to
be used just for HylaFAX.
