Receipt of the fax could be handled in the manner you describe using something like Ghostscript to parse the partial file into pages as it came in. Sending the file is pretty much an "all or none" proposition unless you did something funky like splitting the file into chunks and sending in consecutive sessions. I'm pretty sure FFA doesn't let you say send 1&2&3 etc.

Specifically I'm trying to eliminate end-user confusion as "that fifty page fax" spools to a file, creating a significant delay, leaving the user to wonder "why am I not getting my fax--they said it's currently sending". A better user-experience would be to begin TX'ing the fax (at the same or slower speed than RX) after a page or two has been spooled as a buffer. If I'm using SendFax from the dialplan it appears that I would need to spool an entire incoming fax to file (to completion) before I could route said fax based on the Transmitting Station ID However if I were to drive the fax process from manager rather than from the dialplan, would the TSID be available for read before RX completion, AND (equally important) would sendfax even tolerate sending a fax from an still-spooling RX file? In other words, does the application require that the spool file be complete and closed before it would allow you to begin paying it out 'from the top'?
