Re: [hylafax-users] capi4hylafax (again) take 2 :)

[Gavin Hamill <gdh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK I hope this is my last question on capi4hylafax for a while, since it seems 
to be working well....

I've looked at the xferfaxlog and this is a line from my most recent test

10/29/04 08:51  SEND    00000056        faxCAPI 20      ""      
www-data@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx     "01618399336"   "         01618399336"  266     
1       0:36    0:24   ""

The two interesting values are 0:36, the jobtime, and 0:24 the conntime; from 
xferfaxlog(5f) these are defined as:

"  jobtime       The duration of the session; in the format HH:MM:SS.  This 
time includes setup overhead and any time spent cleaning up after a call.

 conntime      The time spent on the phone; in the format HH:MM:SS.  This 
should be the time used by the PTT to calculate usage charges."

Should there really be as much as 12 seconds logged for setup and cleanup? I 
ask because when I submit a job via our web CGI interface (hence from: 
www-data..) the remote fax machine starts to ring only a fraction of a second 
later. Further investigation suggests something's not working quite right in 
the call takedown... and the following is the contents 
of /var/spool/hylafax/log/c00000056:

Oct 29 08:51:34.34: [ 7600]: Try to connect to fax number 01618399336 in 
Hylafax mode on controller 1.

docq/doc21.ps;00 with normal resolution.

Oct 29 08:51:56.61: [ 7600]: Page 1 was sended. - Last Page!
Oct 29 08:51:56.61: [ 7600]: Fax file completely transfered to CAPI.
Oct 29 08:52:10.38: [ 7600]: Connection dropped with Reason 0x3491 (User 
busy).
Oct 29 08:52:10.38: [ 7600]: SESSION END

That 'connection dropped' line worries me - User busy? That doesn't make a lot 
of sense... 

12 seconds might not seem a lot, but it adds 50% to the time taken to actually 
dial + send the fax and that's a lot of wasted capacity when multiplied by 
2000 faxes per day!

Cheers,
Gavin.
