flexfax: Paging won't retry after "...Unable to configure..."

["Paul Dugas" <pdugas@inetnow.net>]

Hi all,

I've got a HylaFAX server (v4.0-pl1) on a Sun SPARC (Solaris 2.5.1).  We're
currently using  it strictly for alpha-numeric paging.  I've been tweaking
it off and on now for a few months and have it working very well with one
exception.  Occasionally (about one in 250 messages), the server is unable
to configure the modem and sends me the following

	Your pager job to 9,4046564342 failed because:
	    Unable to configure modem for data use

	    ---- Transcript of session follows ----

	Status              	: Unable to configure modem for data use
	Dialogs             	: 0 (exchanges with remote device)
	Dials               	: 0 (consecutive failed calls to destination)
	Calls               	: 0 (total phone calls placed)

When this happens, the message in question is dumped and never retried.  The
next time the modem is used, it works fine.  I'm reluctant to fiddle with
the modem strings as they seem to work so much if the time.  I'd really like
to make it retry the message.  Why does it not retry?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance,

-Paul
