Their fax machine seems to send an "EOM" I guess, EOM means End Of Message (but not EOP, End Of Procedure, or no more pages). So, technically the remote fax machine is telling us that the next page begins a new message/fax/document/whatever. HylaFAX correctly creates a new TIFF for each message. EOM is commonly used to "batch" faxes together. If the sender is sending EOM unintentionally, then they must be doing something with their machine which is triggering it... like feeding the second page after too long a wait... or something. > causing our fax viewing software and procedures to be quite confused > about what constitues "a fax". You must be referring to something other than the default notification mechanism, as it should list separate TIFFs for each message. > Is this a bug in the software / their fax machine, and is there a > workaround / upgrade? Not a bug in HylaFAX, I can assure you. It may be a bug in the sender's fax machine, but it's more likely an error in the way they send faxes. No workaround available for this correct behavior. You could hack faxgetty to treat EOM similar to MPS if you really want, though.
