HylaFAX Handbook
Everything you need to know in order to install and operate a HylaFAX server successfully.About the HylaFAX Handbook
The HylaFAX Administrator’s Handbook is an attempt to collate everything one might need to know in order to install and operate a HylaFAX server successfully. It covers version 4.3.0 and later. It was born during the relaunch of the hylafax.org website, back in 2005. The initial revision was created by combining the best elements of the original HylaFAX website, Lee Howard’s HOW-TO guide, and any other good stuff we could get our hands on.
