Re: [hylafax-users] re： Re: patton 2977 configuration

[Lee Howard <faxguy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I used the Patton 2977 with RedHat 7.1, 9, and Fedora Core 2 (with the
kernel downgraded to 2.4). I always used kernel 2.4. I could never get
their 2.6 "beta" drivers to work properly. Tech support with Patton was
generally unhelpful and uneventful.
