   Hi people.

   Im working for a company here in Tijuana, i think im the only grazy 
guy that runs FreeBSD on Tijuana, i have running Bacula 1.38.11 on 
FreeBSD 6.1-p3 using the tape device HP StorageWorks 232 external. Is 
working very well, the full backup is about 130Gb, the clients are Linux 
RH9, Win2k3, WinNT 4 and FreeBSD.

  Well right now im testing hylafax 4.2.5 on the same OS version 
6.1-p3(test machine) using one external modem Multitech MT2834ZDXB 
RS-232, reading the hylafax maillist, it says that this modems work very 
well, this one just support Class (0,2), if i want to send fax is better 
that the modem support Class(1,1.0). They recommend this Brand and the 
Rockwell/Conexant-based Chips, but normally went you buy modems you dont 
see the Chip, them some here is running hylafax (send and receive) with 
external modem(RS-232) on FreeBSD and which modem you are using...?

  I was working with one PCI modem using the port  ltmdm but i start 
having problems, i prefer to not use modems that need external programs 
to work, but if the modem work which one?

  I want to have 2 or 3 modems running in the same machine.

 Now we have our internal mail with squirrelMail on Linux, we can send 
and receive internal or external mail, my doubt is, can sendmail on 
freebsd be config to send mail to our internal mail...? I want to send 
one mail each time we receive faxes to the clients?

  My Boss love the OpenSource revolution, here we have Linux/FreeBSD 
running very well, we have one guy that give support on Linux, sometimes 
i do the job other i need some help with Linux. He ask me to find 
someone close to our office if some day we need support on BSD stuff if 
im not here to help, some here in this list can give support to us(he 
will pay)? How can we contact you?

  Thanks for your time!!!
