Well, I am not an expert of the hylafax protocol, but since I understood
that this is a derivative work from the FTP protocol, then probably you
should activate some option like "PASSIVE". This is required in FTP
since you have two different connections, not just one. One connection
on port 4559 is the control channel and one on another port (the first
available) is the data channel.

If this is the case for the hylafax protocol than you cannot just use
putty on one specific channel.

Just my 2 eurocent :-)
