Title: [hylafax-users] Wich order follows doneq?

Javier - I have seen this behavior with multiple fax lines. Basically the server queues up multiple faxes to the same destination into a single phone call, and then uses the next line to send out faxes to a different number. you can see this in practice by looking at the arguments that faxsend is called with:

ps -aef | grep faxsend
the line below is a single fax going to the destination, if you have multiple faxes in one call there would be additional queued faxes listed.
uucp      2134 26998  0 17:44 ?        00:00:00 faxsend -m ttyS9 sendq/q86348

Also, as mentioned earlier, it could be that the numebr was busy. Hylafax would then reschedule all faxes to that number for a few minutes in the future, giving it time to try and send a few faxes to a different number, even though they are further down in the queue.
