The original author seems to have wanted that "jitter" there to
prevent the same events from happening over time... I guess he
believed that by randomizing the reschedule time that some time-
related problems could be avoided.
Think of two Hylafax systems with default (or otherwise identical)
settings and only one modem line each.
Assume system A has a job for receiver X that always fails and will
be re-scheduled until a limit is reached.
Further assume System B wants to send a fax to system A and just
tries to send it when A is trying to send to X.
A's job to X fails and A re-schedules the job.
B will get a busy signal and re-schedule the job.
With identical settings and without jitter it may be possible that
several or all retries on System B will get a busy signal because A
is retrying in the same interval. With jitter this is very unlikely.
but the whole point is that argument goes out of the window, because
you can schedule the time of say 50 faxes without 'jitter', just by
setting them to the same "TTS"
also the fact is that , because the "TTS" is at a milisecond level on
the submitting of jobs, the chance of 2 remote hylafax systems :
1. having exactly the same "TTS"
2. having the same "retry time"
3. triggering the jobs at exactly the same time.
is going to be fairly remote.
The other thing is i think the "jitter" is a myth!!! ( see the last job)
As a point on how good this is looking, here is 3 recent jobs!! 1+1+2:

I sent 4 pages on 3 separate jobs for the cost of 1 phone call, and a
reduction in tied up phone lines & modems. this has to be a good way
to go , for batching anyway.
but see the next 2 jobs as well, the last one is the most interesting
and again!!
