Hey John,

how did you configure Hylafax to do so. With me it  repeats the whole
fax or nothing - and I frequently send faxes of over ten pages size.

I thought of writing a script to evaluate the xferlog-file but it would
be easier to configure hylafax in the right way.

Please give me a hint.
I work on SuSE-Linux 6.1 with hylafax version 4.0pl2
