A large number of those may be BUSY errors or NO CARRIER errors, which does
not indicate a failure on the part of HylaFAX.  My bulk faxing these days
will generally encounter 1% errors which are protocol related - "No
response to MPS or EOP".  I'm working on fixing these, and I think I've got
it, but I'm not done testing.

Anyway, I tend to believe that your error rate due to protocol errors is
really much less than 2.7%.

For the most part, I've never known anyone who uses a non-fixed destination
pool to have better than 99% success.
