I am having a hard time getting folks to adopt this. Here's why:

Any failure during a receive is not sent "as is" like a standalone fax
machine.

Whether the error occurred due to the sender or receiver, a failed fax to a
standard fax machine will "print" until it's done, failure or not. Our
current method is:

<action application="set" data="execute_on_fax_success=lua
process_fax.lua"/>

when we should also have a method

*<action application="set" data="execute_on_fax_failure=lua
process_fax.lua"/> *

This way if the sender had a paper jam 25 pages through a 26 page fax, they
might simply resend the remaining pages and not send the entire fax "again".
It would also resolve any carrier issues where the DCS or TCF was not being
responded to.

I think this might be easy to implement, and I think inbound faxes "should"
behave like a generic fax machine. Whatever I receive, I should print
(email) for the recipient. Throwing away received pages is somewhat
wasteful, and makes people think the fax is not working properly, making it
harder for organizations to adopt.
