[hylafax-users] Hylafax on a 133 MHZ laptop?

[John Hudak <john.j.hudak@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks:
I am looking for some feedback from ppl that may have put HylaFax on a 
older laptop or computer....
I've set up hylafax on a desktop pc a few yrs  ago for a friend, and it 
worked pretty well.  Recently my fax machine went bellyup at home and I 
got to thinking about using my old 133 MHZ pentium which runs Linux RH 
v9 with Hylafax, and using either the internal modem that came with the 
NEC laptop (I think it is a 'winbond' modem chip) or one of two PCMCIA 
ethernet+modem cards I have (one 3com, don't remember the other). So I 
have some general questions:
1. Is this version of RH a reasonable/stable environment for Hylafax, 
or, is there a better distribution to consider?  I am also considering 
DSL but don't know how well it integrates with HylaFax.
2. What modem 'chip set' might I have the best chance of getting working 
with this arrangement?
3. Would the 133 MHz machine have enough compute cycles to act as a 
stand alone send/receive fax machine?  I would be running a minimum of 
processes on it, and it would only be a fax machine.

Thanks for your comments!
John
