Hi Graham,

Please remember that HylaFAX is responsible for much of the detailed timing
requirements of the T.30 protocol and virtualizing the modem does not help
in this task.  While some HylaFAX users have been reasonably successful most
have eventually abandoned this route because it did not provide a robust
solution.

Personally, I don't think that installing HylaFAX is terribly complex...
certainly not more so than the 50+ Windows fax servers that I support :-)

If you want some idea of the complexity then please feel free to contact our
support department (support@xxxxxxxxxxxx) or call one of the HylaFAX
supporters - iFAX would be a great place to start.

Good luck !

I've read that installing Hylafax can be difficult .. so I've chosen
to go this route initially.

And I need my users to replicate the install process which might be a
trifle difficult if they have to do the whole install themselves on a
*nix box.

Virtualization does maximize one's hardware resources as well.
I am using an external modem

Cheers,
