By ASAP I assume that you mean that the important thing is throughput 
and not minimal time-off-hook.

If that understanding is correct then, yes, disable batching and set 
MaxConcurrentCalls to the lesser number of your max lines out and the 
receiver's max lines in.

If by ASAP you (confusingly) mean minimal time-off-hook, then leave 
batching at default (enabled, 64 jobs) and change MaxConcurrentCalls to 1.

For those who are reading this and want a "blend" of the two... then you 
mix MaxConcurrentCalls and MaxBatchJobs to match your desire.

However, for those others who are reading this... be aware that it is 
*unwise* to set MaxConcurrentCalls to anything other than 1 unless you 
are certain that the destination actually has more than one incoming fax 
line.

Thanks,

Lee.
