MaxDials and MaxTries is somewhat a bit confusing, but
not too much after reading man hylafax-config. But,
from your own config file, one can see this line:

MaxTries:      6         # Attempt to send fax 6 times

What's the difference? In your config file you are
saying "if connected, "dial" 24 times and wait for
answer from remote."

With MaxTries you are in the situation where the
server get line, dial 24 times and if after 6 tries
the remote didn't answer mark the job as failled.

Did I explained it well? I hope so. Cheers.

Pedro
