Unfortuately my c++ skill is at the most basic of levels, so hacking 
faxqclean is a long way off for me.  I'll probably end up writing 
something in perl to process the archive.  Since hylafax will clobber it 
eventually (thankfully a while off for us), I'll probably make it move 
the archive into a database.  Then I can query the database for the 
reports I will need to have.

To make sure I'm reading it proplerly, that is a patch to change the max 
number to 999,999,999, but it hasn't been applied yet.  Currently the 
number is 32,000.

Thanks.
