Can you tell us something about this network and how reliable HylaFAX is
when used with this port server ?  We have found in our labs that these
systems become unusable for fax as the packet loss increases... This can
sometimes be stimulated by heavy traffic on the local network.

I agree that the install should work.  However, we are really interested in
how well the system performs as a fax server aren't we ?  My advice is to
keep it simple... If you run HylaFAX on a dedicated system with decent fax
hardware you will see extremely low error rates (we have a customer who is
currently investigating an error rate of 6 in 10,000).
