You probably won't get much help here because capi4hylafax does not  
work like a modem or like other ISDN cards that simulate a fax modem  
interface.

I only understood the code to read and write the q-file. Don't know how  
the real faxing works.

Try to find out how capi4hylafax communicates this error message to  
Hylafax. Maybe it's in the q-file.

You could write a wrapper script that calls c2faxsend and then analyzes  
and modifies the q-file to tell Hylafax it should not retry the job.  
(If you don't find a suitable result code you could set a retry counter  
to a high value to make Hylafax think it has reached the retry limit.)
