Fax batching was in 4.2.1 and is much-improved in 4.2.2.  In the next 
release it will be even better-utilized.  (Meaning there are 
feature-adds hanging on Bugzilla that better-utilize batching which 
patches will be applied after 4.2.2 releases.)

Page batching (you know... pagers) will be going in to the next 
release.  The patch is also on Bugzilla.

It's enabled by default.  In 4.2.2 you can disable it with the 
MaxBatchJobs configuration parameter.

As of 4.2.2 all batching bugs have been worked-out, and you should be 
able to trigger a batch by coordinating the time-to-send between 
different jobs to the same destination.  However, faxq and faxsend don't 
make an effort to keep those batches together, so if a busy signal is 
encountered or something like that, then they can end up unbatched.  
This and more will be worked out in the next release.  If you're wanting 
this then I suggest working off of a CVS snapshot from about a week 
after the 4.2.2 release occurs.

Lee.
