HylaFAX: Open Source Fax Server

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

HylaFAX is designed to be very robust and reliable. The fax server is designed to guard against unexpected failures in the software, in the configuration, in the hardware and in general use. HylaFAX can support multiple modems and a heavy traffic load.

HylaFAX supports:

  • sending facsimile
  • receiving facsimile
  • polled retrieval of facsimile
  • transparent shared data use of the modem
