flexfax: Problems with sendpage

[Mario de Mello Bittencourt <mneto@buriti.com.br>]

Hi all,

    I have a v4.0pl1 HylaFAX(tm)  system (USR Courier external, Linux
2.0.35 i386) which is used to send fax.  It works ok with
fax but I am finding some problems while trying to use it to send
message to pagers.

    Once and a while my messages are not sent and I get e-mail with :

Your pager job to 9738 could not be completed before the appointed
deadline.

    ---- Unsent job status ----

   Destination: 9738
         JobID: 235
       GroupID: 235
        Sender: Mario Bittencourt
      Mailaddr: mneto@buriti.com.br
        CommID: 00000220
Submitted From: localhost
        Status: Message block not acknowledged by paging central after
multiple tries
       Dialogs: 1 (exchanges with remote device)
         Dials: 0 (consecutive failed calls to destination)
         Calls: 1 (total phone calls placed)

    ---- Unsent pages submitted for transmission ----

       PIN 9738

I happens with no reason (aparently). I could only "simulate" this
behaviour if
If I issue several sendpage commands...

My /usr/local/lib/fax/hfaxd.conf has :

MaxMsgLength:           128             # max pager message length
PagerTTYParity:         none            # the manual on
www.vix.com/hylafax is wrong!
PagerIDMapFile:         "/etc/pagermap" # file with pager ID mapping
rules

My /usr/local/lib/fax/sendpage.conf has :

NoQueue:        off

My /var/spool/fax/etc/config.cua has :

IXOIDProbe:             1
IXOIDTimeout:           10

The paging company uses TAP and I can send pages using the company's dos
program and the same
modem.
