I've had such things too. If somebody will need, I will dig out the logs.

Fortunately the fax machine at the other did not crash.

Look at it in another way: You just uncovered a DoS attack against fax
machine. Now if the fa machine was Linux, it would be fixed tomorrow (or
even tonight), but it's Philips. Free software rules!

Have a nice evening!

 There is  something  frustrating  about  the quality  and  speed  of  Linux
 development.  I.e. the quality  is too high  and the speed  is too high, in
 other words,  I  can implement  this XXXX feature,  but I bet  someone else
 has already done it and is just about to release his patch to Linus soon...
