[hsflinux] hsf driver won't drop the line

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

1) You could try with eFax instead to see if there is a difference.
2) You could try to determine if it's only a specific remove FAX machine 
which is triggering the problem.
3) It's important to know that RHEL (and CentOS) 5.x kernels are 
compiled with only 4K of stacks and it could be incompatible with the 
HSF driver in some cases. You could try with a kernel with larger stack 
size, for example, a custom kernel from http://www.kernel.org or trying 
with a different Linux distribution (only Fedora, RHEL and distributions 
based on them have 4K stacks kernels typically).
