HylaFAX is a fax and paging system for Unix. It supports sending facsimile, receiving facsimile, polled retrieval of facsimile, transparent shared data use of the modem and sending alpha-numeric pages. The software is structured around a client-server architecture. Fax modems may reside on a single machine on a network and clients can submit outbound jobs from any machine that can communicate with the machine on which the modems reside. An access control mechanism is included to control which users on which machines may access a server.

Recent releases


Changes: Cases where the modem may "ignore" an ATA from HylaFAX are now handled better. A problem involving JBIG attempts using non-JBIG Class 2.0 modems was fixed. The --disable-ldap and --disable-jbig options for configure were added. A divide-by-zero error in additional logging from 5.2.8 is avoided.


Changes: DSO is supported on SCO. Handling of CRP in non-ECM receive was fixed. Log enhancements were made. A failure is thrown if there is a TIFF write error. dataTimeout is initialized. Dialtest and typetest are removed in "make uninstall". The "-q spool" option was added for faxcron. JobProtection is on by default. faxq is now prevented from reusing old prepared image files from other jobs. Faxstate "DOWN" persists through a faxq modem release. Collisions are avoided in hash code. The hfaxd -D sleep option was added. IgnoreModemBusy and AllowIgnoreModemBusy were added.


Changes: This release improves faxq's FIFO parsing resiliancy. It invokes SetupPrivateTmp from notify, faxrcvd, and pollrcvd.


Changes: A timeout in sendClass1Data-putModemData was fixed. $PCL6CMD was fixed in the pcl2fax script. Control frame receipt is handled in Class 1 V.34-Fax sending when switching to primary channel. Building on SCO 6.0.0 was fixed.


Changes: faxcover_example_sgi.ps was removed for legal reasons. NO CARRIER results to AT+FRH=3 are now handled better. Received bit order is now correctly handled on JBIG in Class 2.1. The Class2DisableV34Cmd configuration option was added. The Class2JBIGSupport modem configuration option was added. Warnings, fixups, and configure script modifications were made for gcc-4.3 and specifically Fedora 9.

I am currenty testing a Sedlbauer speed fax + PCI (www.sedlbauer.de) with positive results. They even have a Linux support section on their website.

I'd reccomend getting a US Robotics V.Everything. It will do anything you ever want a modem to do -- you can pick them up (the EXTERNAL model) off ebay for pretty cheap
Internal Modem/TA
HylaFax is great, sure. But if you give a glance to the modem list?
Anyone is using HylaFax along with internal ISDN TA (or just common modem) with Linux (2.2.x or 2.3.x)? Can you suggest some model? This is quite important for me...
