3948 - Fax server: Support for 'no channel available'

Ticket #111335. If the fax call is released with the release code 'no channel available', the call counter isn't increased and the call is retried one minute later for maximum 2 hours.

11362 - Faxserver: Converting of received documents with 400 dpi

The tool tiff2pdf doesn't correctly convert documents with 203 dpi horizontal and 400 dpi vertical resolution with the option fit to page. The option fit to page was added in sr16 and shouldn't be used if the horizontal and the vertical resolution differ. Now the target resolutions are calculated by the fax server itself.

Ok, dann machen wir doch beide Fixes.
Den Fax-Fix veröffentlichen wir gleich für den Kunden. Und der Firmwarefix nur in 12r2
-->!--
D.h. vorher kam bei der Auflösung einfach nichts, wenn man Fit to Page gesetzt hat? - Doch, das Dokument wird verzerrt und verkleinert in A5 auf A4 angezeigt. Beispiel vom Kunden angefügt.

Der Workaround hilft, weil es so oft nicht vor kommt, dass zu große Bilder gesendet werden? - Ja, er hilft perfekt, wenn eine eingehende Seite nicht größer als A4 ist. Man kann annehmen, dass Geräte, die 400lpi senden, sich auch auf A4 beschränken. Ein Fax selbst ist nicht auf eine Länge beschränkt. Ich füge die Option fit to page bei der Konvertierung hinzu, wenn die Länge A4 überschreitet. Dabei wird nicht auf 400lpi überprüft und die Anzahl der Zeilen bei 400ldi überschreitet mit dem doppelten Wert natürlich immer die A4-Länge mit 203lpi. Die Lösung ist, dies zu unterscheiden, und im Normalfall kein fit to page zu setzen, erst wenn die Zeilenanzahl die A4-Länge merklich überschreitet, damit nichts abgeschnitten wird. Die Alternative ist, das Tool zu korrigieren oder ein anderes Tool zu finden. Dieses Konvertierungsproblem wird man auch auf dem neuen Linux haben.
Oder man verhindert im FAX-Interface allgemein das Empfangen vom Dokumenten in der vertikalen Auflösung mit 400lpi, weil wir Überlänge in dieser Auflösung mit diesem Tool nicht korrekt auf A4 konvertieren können.

Jetzt ist mir noch eine andere Idee gekommen: das FAX-Interface kann keine 400 dpi empfangen, das könnte man im T.4 und T.30 ändern und davon ausgehen, dass die Dokumente mit 400x400 statt mit 203x400 rein kommen und das Konvertierungstool dann keinen Mist mehr macht.

Dein Vorschlag ist also das echte Problem nicht zu lösen?

V10 Service Release 40 (100238)

15999 - Fax server: File names in ms-tnef attachments not escaped

The file names in ms-tnef attachments aren't escaped, so a shell command fails if the file name contains special characters. This is fixed now.

V10 Service Release 42 (100241)

18104 - Fax server: Delayed converting of incoming fax documents
