Sounds like the pipe between the LDM and the WXP convert process is
dying prematurely.  Are you seeing "broken pipe" errors in your ldmd.log
file?

Given that you are not doing any filtering, it would seem like a good idea
to contact Alden about this.  The other alternative would be to send a note
to address@hidden (an email list whose members are other DIFAX users)
to see if others are experiencing the same thing.

Please let us know if you find out from Alden that there has been a problem
in the AVN DIFAX product tranmission.
