hfaxd functions like ftp: there is a control connection and a data 
connection established afterwards.  The establishment of the data 
connection can be done via "active" or "passive" mode, and that is 
selected by the client-side.

If WinPrint uses sendfax in scripts on the client-side of things then 
you can simply put:

 PassiveMode: yes

In your hyla.conf file.

Otherwise (if WinPrint has it's own hfaxd client) then the passive-mode 
support would need to come from it.

Thanks,

Lee.
