Automating faxes

[David Batterham <dkbat1@mugc.cc.monash.edu.au>]

Hi All,

I have developed a system to send faxes from a purchase orders system
using hylaFAX as the engine.

At the moment I am calling sendfax from a C program to send faxes. I need
a way of telling whether these faxes were successfull or not, ie, a return
code or something. I would like to avoid pulling lines out of logs etc if
possible. Ideally I want to be able to determine that a fax has failed
miserably and send the fax or the original unconverted text file to a
remote printer, so the user can determine the problem and retry or fax the
order manually.

Any help and ideas appreciated... 

Catch Ya,
Dave.
