Yeah, I'd tend to believe that Faximum couldn't stay in business with that 
kind of problem.

I'm personally managing five HylaFAX servers, at the moment.  The one of 
the five that handles the largest volume has five modems (three internal 
PCI, two external).  It receives anywhere from 50 to 100 faxes (usually 
multipage legal) per week day.  Once per week it faxes out a batch of bulk 
faxes (usually about 500) to the clientelle.  I am using HylaFAX 4.1.1 
installed via RPM on a RedHat 7.1 system - Duron 600 PC.  I have no 
problems to speak of.  My send failures are around 1% (failure to receive 
response to EOP), 0% if you factor retries.  I attribute most, if not all 
of the send failures I have to errors on the receiver's end like 
out-of-paper, an intentional disconnect, etc.

However, I've heard others on this list who have sent more than 10,000 
faxes daily and those who receive about 1,000 on a daily basis.
