I used hylafax a few years back on IRIX to bulkfax out to all the
 	Indie-record shops in the UK for a small record label. Faxouts
 	were to around a thousand numbers at a time. Wrote a perl
 	interface between their database system and hylafax. Hylafax is
 	happy with a pool of faxmodems.

 	Still use it now in current company, but only one fax and for
 	incoming faxes only :)
