Not really - that is to say, I did a basic apt-get install of 
hylafax, and then Matt did the rest.

We did it on an old K6/2 400 with a dynalink ISA modem.  Worked pretty 
much out of the box, I think.  I suspect that as long as you stick with 
ISA or external UART modems (as opposed to PCI winmodem or USB modems), 
then you'll probably be fine.
