We submit up to around 1,200 faxes at bulk priority and mix in higher 
priority faxes with no problems at all.  Not 5,000 but enough that I am 
completely confident that 5,000 would be no problem.  The only thing that 
we initially had problems with was that we were specifying a killtime that 
was too short.  Once we changed that we've had no problems.
