[Freeswitch-users] [OL]Re: best way to receive FAXs

[Steve Underwood]

You seem to be making a mountain out of a mole hill. Unless you have 
some very specific need for HylaFAX, just install FreeSwitch and let it 
FAX for you. If you do need HylaFAX, then install HylaFAX and FreeSwitch 
and let the T.31 FAX modem facility in FreeSwitch be your modem. If you 
need to send more than 100k FAXes a day you might need to consider 
performance issues.

Regards,
Steve
