[hylafax-users] information

["Marko Denev" <Marko.Denev@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

 

I have just come on board in an organization and have inherited systems that I have no idea about, but have to enhance the infrastructure. May I ask for information to aid me in the right direction please.

 

I have a HP Proliant DL380G3 server running White Box Linux (a derivative of Red Hat Enterprise Linux v3 for those like me who did/do not know about White Box Linux). Running Hylafax (version unknown as yet but it will be a few years old).

The onboard serial port has an external modem attached. What I have to do is either add a pci card with additional serial ports and attach external modems or obtain an all in one pci card with rj11 or 12 sockets to directly connect analog lines. The Proliant has 1 x PCI-X 130MHz slot and 2 x PCI-Extended 200MHz slots.

For the short term I’m happy to work on the quick option, but do not know what serial card/s to buy as far as reliability and functionality is concerned.

 

I have found a few Netcomm Smart modems and I’m thinking I could use them if unless some one will advise against this.

 

I have to upgrade from 1 line to a minimum of 4 lines.

 

If anyone can assist with ideas by all means throw them at me.

 

Thanks

Marko
