RE: Faxing:

You're right and, whoever they are, they're wrong. I cannot think of a
reason to perform a read no-wait on a data queue unless they are doing read
no-waits on three of four data queues.

Used to be that if a job was waiting on a data queue, endsbs wouldn't kill
it.  I don't think that is true any more.

There is at least one popular Fax package that reads a data queue several
times a
second to see if there is anything to do.  This seems to me to be incredibly
wasteful, and a constant drain on system resources (wouldn't it make more
sense
to read the data queue with an unlimited wait (or even a long wait) and only
process the entry when there is real work to do?)

Hopefully you'll do a test of the fax packages, and do a little further
inquiry
on any chew up 3-5% of CPU resources even when there is nothing to do.
