In general the upgrade from 4.1.6 to 4.2.1 should be seamless and 
without any gotchas.  I can't think of anything that would be of any 
difference.

If you're using Class 1 then most of your faxing is going to shift into 
ECM by default.  I don't see this being a problem, but on the 
off-chance that it does, you can disable ECM with Class1ECMSupport 
(but, you really want it, trust me).

If any of your outbound faxing is "batchable" then it will be batched 
by default.  Again, this shouldn't be a problem, and you probably don't 
do much batchable faxing by the sound of it.

Of course, and as always, if you run into problems, let us know.

Just make sure that you do the upgrade in the same manner that the 
original install was done.  RPM installation, do RPM upgrade.  tarball 
installation, do tarball upgrade.  apt-get installation, apt-get 
upgrade.  Otherwise you're bound to end up with two different sets of 
HylaFAX binaries all over the place.
