Sure, no discussion about that. I only wanted to state that this is a more
difficult problem than it looks at the first glance.
It's not simply a question of this fax machine works and this doesn't. Let
me clarify: my experience stems from the fact that a client of mine uses
mgetty+sendfax and sends up to, say, 50, faxes a day worldwide, mostly
Germany, USA and Taiwan, but other European countries also. He often
(well, look above) gets a "Protocol Error" on the first (second and third)
try, but eventually the fax comes through witrhout error report. I had to
stop the resending facility because the recipients were complaining why
this guy always sends his faxes ten times!

So, that's my (his) problem :(
