[quote user="Jason"] Yea. But I don't want to mess with the hardware getting detected properly by linux. [/quote] Jason, I used ubuntu server 8.10 for my hylafax box and put my synapse server in a Win2k VM inside. I wrote down all the apps I used to set it up. I can share my stuff, or you could contact me off this list - I could set up a box for you.
I don't think there's a problem with Ubuntu not detecting your hardware if the hardware is at least a year old.
Thanks Gerry. I am going to give it a whirl. I might just try it on my Asterisk box which is NIX. They say hylafax works on it ... over VOIP even ! But my box uses MA BELL lines. http://pbxinaflash.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3645 http://geekhut.org/2009/03/pbx-in-a-flash-hylafax-avantfax-wow/
