+HylaFAX is an enterprise-class system for sending and receiving
+facsimiles as well as for sending alpha-numeric pages.The software
+is designed around a client-server architecture. Fax modems may
+reside on a single machine on a network and clients can submit
+an outbound job from any other machine on the network.
+
+Client software is designed to be lightweight and easy to port. 
+
+
+If you need to start hylafax at boot
+edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local and add the lines:
+
+script:
+# Starting the HylaFAX hfaxd and faxq Daemons at Boot.
+  if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.hylafax ]; then
+    /etc/rc.d/rc.hylafax start
+  fi
+
+Edit /etc/inittab and add a line(s) similar to:
+
+m0:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS0
+
+where 'm0' is unique in inittab and 'ttyS0' matches the device
+name(s) used at the outset of the faxaddmodem script. 
+
+With root permissions, execute '/usr/sbin/faxsetup'.
+When finished, faxsetup will automatically run faxaddmodem
+for you. Generally, you can follow all of the defaults
+except those for FaxMaster, the local fax number(s), TSI,
+and any modem-specific information in faxaddmodem.
+
+It would be wise to run faxcron and faxqclean regularly
+from cron so that the queue directories do not clutter
+up and fill the storage device. Many installations run
+faxqclean every hour and faxcron every day. Insert
+something like this into your uucp or root crontab file:
+
+0 * * * * /usr/sbin/faxqclean
+0 0 * * * /usr/sbin/faxcron | mail -s "HylaFAX Usage Report" faxmaster
