Which coincides, roughly, with the 4.4.0 release where faxmail changed 
from being a mail-to-postscript converter (with client capability) to 
being something much more like a mail-to-sendfax procedure.

I don't know to what you're referring here by "it"... but the design 
change has not been entirely reversed in later 4.4.x releases, no... 
although some back stepping has occurred, I believe.

The faxmail behavior in HylaFAX+ 5.2.0 is much, much closer to 
tradition, and I don't know of anyone who uses HylaFAX+ and refers to 
its faxmail as "not working".

If these things don't work in 4.4.x releases, I cannot say.  However, I 
fully expect those to work in HylaFAX+ 5.2.0.

> Another question, are the same softwares, Hylafax and Hylafax+?

Some people have chosen to disagree strongly with me on this, but as far 
as I'm concerned HylaFAX is HylaFAX whether it be from hylafax.org or 
sourceforge.net.  The two versions are not dissimilar enough to say that 
they are not both simply versions of the same thing.  These two versions 
at least as much the same thing as were HylaFAX versions from sgi.com as 
compared to hylafax.org.

However, yes, there are some differences between these versions.  All of 
that I try to outline on the website:  http://hylafax.sourceforge.net

> I saw that Hylafax+ is copywrited from Silicon "something else" 

Where did you see that?  HylaFAX(+) is copyrighted by its authors and 
contributors.  The largest-single one of those being Sam Leffler who was 
then working for Silicon Graphics (SGI), and thus their names appear on 
the copyright for the vast majority of all of the source code.  However, 
there are many other copyright holders... even unnamed ones.  Nothing 
about this has changed in HylaFAX+.

Thanks,

Lee.
