Fax over IP or fax over POTS? I have set up a hylafax server along with
samba (and firewall and gateway at one point) on the same linux box. Hylafax
runs a faxmodem over POTS on the same line (filtered) as the Qwest DSL
connection. Never had a problem, even with a fax appliance (separate machine
before hylafax). That's a business DSL account though.
