It is a good idea to install the client support on a server machine.
The hyalfax.sw.afm package should be installed on client machines that do not have dps_eoe.sw.dpsfonts installed; this package includes font metric files that are used in formatting ASCII text submitted for facsimile transmission. If you have access to dps_eoe.sw.dpsfonts, install that instead of hyalfax.sw.afm; you will get more accurate formatting of text because the font metric files will be correct for the fonts used to image text.
When installing software for a server machine you must also install a PostScript RIP, otherwise the fax server will not able to convert PostScript to facsimile for transmission. If you have dps_eoe.sw.dps and dps_eoe.sw.dpsfonts on the server machine then you can use the Display PostScript-based RIP in hylafax.sw.dpsrip; otherwise a Ghostscript-based RIP is provided in hylafax.sw.gsrip. [Ed: hylafax.sw.gsrip is not yet ready for distribution.]

Note that the HTML materials are also available on the WWW at http://www.vix.com/hylafax; the snapshot included with the distribution is provided for those sites that are not connected to the Internet.
If you do not have an HTTP server on the machine where you want to install the HTML materials you can view the documentation locally using your favorite World Wide Web browser; e.g.
hyla% netscape /var/httpd/htdocs/hylafaxNote however that if the materials are viewed without an intervening HTTP server then the CGI scripts will not be functional and you will not be able to follow links that reference up the document hierarchy.
