i finaly figured out ( after reading some other posts ) what is causing
my server to stop answering at randome intervolts! Its fax2ps hanging

now i need to figure out how to fix the problem.

running Mandrake 8.0 (with some cooker stuff)
hylafax rpms are version 4.1-6mdk
ghostscript-6.51-24mdk
libtiff3-3.5.5-8mdk
gawk-3.1.0-1mdk
libtiff3-progs-3.5.5-8mdk

i have added some printing stuff into faxrcvd, because i need to print all
incoming faxes.  the problem come in that for some reason the tiff file
that is created and handed off to faxrcvd hangs fax2ps, wich causes
faxrcvd to never finish, which causes hylafax to not answer any more
calles!

from faxrcvd:
if [ -f $FILE ]; then
  $FAX2PS -S -W 8.25 -H 10.75 $FILE 2>>/tmp/fax2ps.log | lpr-cups -P AR507
fi

see, fax2ps has been running for almost an 1.5 hours ! no faxes in for all
that time.

gives:
