8
For Red Hat 5.0, install the compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61.i386.rpm RPM package that you can find on the
CD2 or DVD in the Server folder.
Next, perform the VSI-FAX Server installation.
Other considerations
This section describes several other items for you to take into consideration before installing VSI-FAX.
Port 2996 and 2539 availability
VSI-FAX uses TCP ports 2996 and 2539 to communicate with the fax server. You must ensure that no other
application or device is using these ports. You can check this by using the netstat -an command and checking
the output for the presence of these port numbers.

Refer to your operating system documentation for port assignment information.
Serial port assignments
VSI-FAX may communicate with your various fax devices (modems or fax boards) via serial ports on your system.
You should know the name and physical location of the serial ports you are going to use to install your fax devices.
Serial port names are usually found in the/dev directory on Unix and Linux systems and are named COM1 through
COM9 in Windows.
