Yes.  As best that I can tell Brother fax machines do not support 
PPS-EOM (batching in ECM) very well.  They do support EOM (batching in 
non-ECM) fine.

Yes, I have a Brother fax machine MFC-3100C, and it does the same thing 
when I fax batches in ECM to it.  The pages print out, but it fails to 
respond to the post page message (no matter what it is) following 
PPS-EOM.

We have to teach HylaFAX faxsend to know how to recognize a batch 
failure to disable batching support to that destination.  HylaFAX 
already knows a few kinds of batch failures, but not this one.

I've just committed the last patch on:

  http://bugs.hylafax.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=118

Which should do the trick.

Thanks.

Lee.
