HylaFAX 5.3.0

HylaFAX - Enterprise-class for sending and receiving facsimiles.

HylaFAX is an enterprise-class open-source system for sending and receiving facsimiles as well as for sending alpha-numeric pages.

Most HylaFAX users have configured HylaFAX on a standalone server to both send and receive faxes for an existing workgroup of computers. Often, incoming faxes will be delivered by e-mail to a receptionist of sorts who routes those faxes to the intended recipients. HylaFAX also supports automated routing methods, such as routing based on DID/DNIS, caller ID, port/line, or other fax information. HylaFAX is often configured to handle outgoing faxes from a number of different computers and users. This saves them time, and there's no more waiting at the fax machine while a fax completes, either. Outbound faxes can be received by the server in a large number of different ways: popularly, by direct communication with the server or also by e-mail.

Many HylaFAX administrators take good advantage of the system's logging and reporting mechanisms. HylaFAX can be configured to give descriptive reports of all faxes and/or summaries of fax logs for any period of time.

HylaFAX open source nature and dedicated following provide for a flexible, customizable, and tested package, while basic and simple faxing needs can be met easily and quickly.
