[KLUG Members] HylaFAX and DID Support

[Adam Williams]

Having presented on HylaFAX and been asked about DID support I figured
I'd forward this to the list. 

Hylafax 4.1.6 adds DID support when used with certain Multitech modems.

The README file from this release follows. Please read it carefully.

                               *   *   *

This document is intended to describe the significant differences
between hylafax-4.1.6 and older releases, point out any known
incompatibilites and issues, and provide the reader with directions to
further resources regarding HylaFAX.

                          *   NEW FEATURES   *

* added new edit-faxcover script
* added various enhancements to faxsetup
* default libtiff v3.6 compatibility
* added NOTIFY_FAXMASTER and ENCODING parameters for FaxDispatch
* added 2D-MMR support for Class 2 modems that support it
* added RingTimeout, ModemRingResponse, CIDNumberAnswerLength, and
  CIDNameAnswerLength modem config parameters
* support for MultiTech MT5634ZDXb and MT5634ZBA-DID
* added subaddressing specification capability to sendfax
* numerous bugfixes (several significant) and build cleanups

                         *   KNOWN ISSUES   *

* Specific support for fax class 1.0 is not yet implemented.
* A low-priority job can block a high priority job to the same destination.
* Newer versions of awk produce odd xferfaxstats output (use --nomap).
** Please refer to HylaFAX Bugzilla for a detailed list of issues.

                       *   INCOMPATIBILITIES   *

* HylaFAX source needs to be extracted and built on a case-sensitive
  filesystem.  Users with case-insensitive filesystems, such as those with
  Mac OS X HFS, will need to mount a new filesystem (i.e. UFS) for this
  purpose.  A patch is available which makes this unnecessary.

                      *   WHO SHOULD UPGRADE?   *

A large number of mission-critical bugs are fixed in 4.1.6 (see CHANGES).
Upgrading is recommended for all users.
