Re: [hylafax-users] setting delay between jobs?

[James Werkowski <jwerkowski@attglobal.net>]

Bob --

Do you want to set a delay between each fax send, or to delay a re-dial 
when the receiving fax is busy?

I don't think the tags Pedro suggested would quite do the trick: 
PollModemWait won't kick if the modem resets cleanly; ModemATCmdDelay would 
put the wait time before EACH command sent to the modem; and 
ModemWaitTimeCmd only affects how much time the modem waits for a carrier 
after the call is placed/answered.

If the dial string time outs that Lee suggested don't seem to work, you 
might try setting ModemDTRDropDelay to a high value. This is the time in 
milliseconds that HylaFax waits between dropping the DTR signal to force a 
modem reset, and raising it to continue with the modem initialization. 
And/or you could try setting ModemResetDelay to a high value. This is the 
time in ms that HylaFax waits after the DTR signal is raised. This ought to 
force a consistent delay between each fax job, but I don't know if there 
are maximum values for these tags, or if long waits would make the system 
cranky.

It's a bit kludgy to be sure, but as long as there has been code, there 
have been kludges to fix an unforeseen problem and get on with it.

I also think HylaFax is an excellant, useful program and I'm pleased to 
have it. Thanks to Lee and everyone else who helps support it.
