Actually, the scanning is completed before the fax is sent, so it seems 
unlikely that there is a conflict between them.

 I have 384 M of RAM and about 1 GB of swap space.

As I mentioned, the fax process appears to take place after the scanning 
is done.  I suspect a problem with either Hylafax or the modem driver, 
and probably should use something different. I'll your suggestions some 
thought, but I'm not sure I have the technical know-how to pull it off 
in anything less than a couple of months.

Thanks for your ideas.
