For faxing I use HylaFAX on my home multipurpose linux server. What does it do then?It's a very powerful and fairly easy to use Open Source fax server that suits my modest needs:
The problemI wanted to be able to fax through my home server using my laptop at the office.This was a bit of an issue because of security concerns, but also because of a certain lack of information on how to do that properly and configure your firewall appropriately. Firewall Configuration (HylaFAX Server)In my case, I want to allow my home server to accept any incoming on Port 4559 (used by HylaFax), but only from my Office IP (I thankfully use fixed IPs):
I use the strong firewall scripts from Linux IP Masquerade HOWTO and added the To allow incoming requests from my office (let's pretend it's echo -e " - Allowing INCOMING access to the FAX server from the Office only" $IPTABLES -A INPUT -i $EXTIF -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED \ -p tcp -d $EXTIP --dport 4559 -j ACCEPT -s 22.56.124.56 Windows XP configuration (Client)To print, simply follow the instructions from the WinPrint page with these added comments:
Now you should be set and be able to print. If you encounter issues, you can check a few things from the HylaFAX website. Resources

You have to remove this from the sysconfig file because it only covers the default ftp port. Ironically when the service is restarted it loses the module if loaded by command line. I just modded the /etc/init.d/iptables script and added the modprobe line at the endof the start section. This way it will always load even if the iptables are reloaded. jose@expertofficepc.comThursday 04 May 2006, at 19:58 GMT+8 [X] Opps. This module isn't loaded by default, but I would still put the modprobe command in the start script to keep the setting regardless of firewall changes.. :) EvgenyFriday 21 June 2013, at 18:59 GMT+8 [X] KSongSeptember 26, 2012 I have been a customer with JustHost for atproximapely 2 years. I chose JustHost due to their promise of inexpensive unlimited service, and free domain name. By and large, I've been satisfied with the service I've received. They've never charged me unexpectedly, and have never complained of my usage patterns. From time to time, the service seems to go down, but its usually back within an hour. I would recommend JustHost to customers that need inexpensive service, and can tolerate some occasional downtime. If you require mission-critical no-downtime service, I would not recommend JustHost as being suitable to your needs.
