We've used HylaFAX since it was called flexfax (and hosted the HylaFAX
mailing list for a couple of years after SGI asked Sam Leffler to get it
off SGI). It's worked well for me on SCO OpenServer, and Linux, but I
haven't gotten around to trying it on FreeBSD.

We've always used MultiTech external modems. They're reliable, cheap, work
well with fax, and you don't have to reboot the system when a modem gets
wedged. IMHO internal modems are to be avoided at all costs.
