Hi all, I've cross-posted this to the -users and -biz groups. Hope that's OK. I have a customer who REALLY needs to be able to send/receive faxes reliably. I could probably get hylafax configured, but I'm not sure how reliable it is. If it is considered reliable, would someone let me know? Otherwise, is there a product/service they can buy that will allow them to fax to/from their computers? TIA, -- Take care and have fun, Mike Diehl.

In fact we have a whole bank of virtual modems and they work just fine.

When it comes to FoIP, it is a good idea to stay with analog lines and regular fax. FoIP is a pain and not recommended where fax is a regular part of a business.
