[hylafax-users] Internal vs. external modem

[Richard Morris <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

I am trying to reduce the number of physical computers we have in the 
area where our servers are located.  Some time ago I tried using HylaFAX 
on VMware server and it worked really well.  We were using for a few 
months and no problems seemed to occur.  When we upgraded our server to 
a more powerful machine, I installed the latest HylaFAX in a new virtual 
machine on the new server but all of the faxes failed to send.  The log 
files showed it trying to connect at the highest speed and then kept 
dropping down until it finally gave up and then disconnected.

My question is, is there any differences between an internal modem and 
an external modem that may help resolve this problem?  Right now HylaFAX 
is running back on it's own machine.  We are using two external modems 
for our two fax lines.  I was wondering if I switched to internal PCI 
modems if that would make a difference?

If anyone could share their VMware experiences or suggest something I 
would really appreciate it.

Thank you.
