Re: [hylafax-users] Hardware suggestions to get Hylafax running?

["Joshua Kinard" <jkinard@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Andrew,

Well, to be honest, we're a small non-profit organization that's rather used to running a lot of outdated stuff.  As an example, we just completed an upgrade from NetWare 5.0 SP6a to NetWare 6.5 SP7 this past Christmas.  Outdated tends to be our middle name :)

That said, I'm not exactly looking to stuff a bunch of cheap modems from Wal-Mart into this, but mostly seeking out quality hardware that may be a bit dated, at a low price (eBay is my friend here).  As far as support goes, that's on me for the most part.  We've got support contracts for some of our more expensive hardware, but I'm looking to set this up as a demonstration of what benefits fax-to-email offers my organization.  Then maybe in a year or so, I'll get a budget to build a better system that uses good hardware and maybe even includes support.

Cheers,

--Josh

Sure, you can invest in old hardware and ten year old chipsets... but is 
that really what you want if this is an important deployment ?  Where is 
the HylaFAX support or regular fax firmware upgrades ?
