[hylafax-users] resubmitting faxes, custom setup

["Hans Zimmerman" <hans.zimmerman@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi list,

 we have a somewhat special setup for HylaFAX. We currently try to send 
a fax 6 times and have it archived after this. Periodically we have a 
script checking which faxes failed and this script resubmits a fax for 
another 4 tries. If it fails again it's printed and someone picks it up.
This works great for small faxjobs (< 5pages) and we currently have a 
below 5% failure rate.

Soon we will be submitting bigger jobs (5 to 50pages) and with the above 
setup we start faxing all over again from page 0 if it failed after the 
 6 initial times. This is acceptable for small jobs but if a fax failed 
at it's 49th page it will resend all pages again at the resend and this 
must be avoided. As we can't ask sendfax to send a fax only from page x 
we're looking at how we can achieve this. Is there someone that faced a 
similar problem? We're currenlty thinking of stripping the succeeded 
pages from the postscript file but I'm not sure if there is a tool that 
does this.

Kind regards and thanks for the good work, HylaFAX rocks,

Hans Zimmerman
