Hi,

For once, Mr Howard is a bit mistaken.

You see, HylaFAX treat RTN signal the way it should be as T.30 
specifications.

But if you read the man pages for the RTNHandlingMethod, you will notice 
this:

  "There is a non-written rule among fax developers,
   that RTN means ``over and out''  --  hang  up
   immediately and never try to send the same page
   to the same destination again"

The sender in this case just sent the "DCN" (disconnect) signal,
probably because it doesn't respect T.30 specifications and not because 
it is incapable of retransmitting pages. I don't agree with that 
methode, but it seems we are far too small to make any decision in the 
fax world. I mean, why use the code that say "I got the page all wrong, 
please resend it" to say "Hey everything's fine, don't bother resend 
it"? Sometimes, answers are just plain dumb.
