[hylafax-users] fax-batching

[procadas@creditus.pt]

Hi. After annoing Lee a bit 8) some questions appear, I hope the users list
could give me some answers. The scenario: I'm sending a fax for 12345.
Meantime, another user send one to the same number. How to attach the new
job to avoid a new call. I know that hylafax have no this feature for now.

I extract this steps from here

http://www.iec.org/online/tutorials/faxtech_test/topic04.php

1.call setup
2.premessage handshake procedure
     Calling and answering fax devices identify themselves and
exchange capabilities data.
     Transmission parameters are selected.
3.line testing procedure
     The calling unit sends a test pattern to determine the maximum    data
rate.
     The answering unit either accepts the data rate or requests a
lower rate.
4.image transmission
     The calling unit sends image using agreed-upon compression
methods.
5.post-image handshake procedure
     end of message confirmation
     multidocument procedures
6.call release

They mentioned EOM and MPS. EOM  as end of Message and Multipage Signal and
here

http://www.iec.org/online/tutorials/faxtech_test/topic05.php

this "tags" more explained.

*end of message (EOM)-end of fax transmission, request turnaround or new
parameters
*multipage signal (MPS)-end of fax page, more pages to follow

Here are my questions. Hylafax will need to send an EOM for the new job? I
guess not since both machines have made the acknowlegde previously. I
believe more in a MPS or in the idea under MPS since we could consider the
new job as a "next page". Can we can consider the idea of hylafax checking
for another fax to the same number before the EOP? Hylafax is doing this
already for blocking. Well, hope my questions are not to much idiot. Cheers
