Re: [hylafax-users] Page limit

[Chris Weiss <cweiss@xxxxxxxxx>]

when i was still using plain paper fax, the one I had could store
about 100 pages in memory and had I think a 50 sheet tray, so at most
it would hang up after 150 pages.  A limit is certainly needed, so for
i haven't hit the 25 page limit that i know of, so maybe your business
use for fax should be the deciding factor.
