   Yes, i know this problem, too. But, as it looks, somtehing around 90%
   of these faxes nevertheless arrive flawless (i.e., readable :-) at the
   receiver. I've been looking at the Faxlog, but i don't get a clue. One
   Problem might be that faxing is favoring one direction over the other.

OK, but I still want to point out which problems occur
and how to solve them. 10% of operator interaction is
way too much for professional use (if the amount of
faxes is comparably high), and if we don't know which
problems occur, a certain amount of uncertainty
remains. Not good for networks where users keep
questioning the operator silly questions (hear me,
Gert?). The goal is a system which works virtually
without operator interaction. In other words: I don't
have the time to look after every fax sent.
