I think this is not correct.  We generate large reports to be faxed (some
as large as 80 pages), and HylaFAX does not resend the entire fax. 
I have personally watched it when it had a problem (faxing to myself), and
it did not resend the pages which were already sent successfully.
It started with the last page which did not get through.
