Re: [hylafax-users] what is an acceptable rate of failure ?

Hi George,

A lot depends on your definition of a 'failure' - does it include wrong
numbers, user aborts, etc.

If you are referring to failures during the fax transmission/reception
process then something close to 1% failure rates should be readily
achievable, and 0.1% with some effort.

We have boards deployed around the world and don't often see major
differences in error rates between countries or regions.... POTS is actually
pretty robust around most of the globe.

Subject: [hylafax-users] what is an acceptable rate of failure ?

I looked all over the net on this and can't find anything.
Just what is an acceptable rate of failure when sending/recieving faxes?

I have hylafax+ on 4 lines and using xferfaxlog for the stats I calculated
we have an average of 86.46% rate of receiving faxes. We're talking about
maybe 40,000 incomming calls in total.

To me an error is any report from hylafax of an Exx error.
Success is one where the REASON field in empty.

Also I should mention I live in a country where the phone lines arn't
exactly perfect. So would there be anything published about it.
