"Performing fax protocol" means that a call is made and that we connect 
with a fax machine and begin fax protocol.  So if we call and don't get 
answered or if we call and don't hear a carrier, then it's not a "try".

So to answer your example question, I cannot answer it perfectly without

knowing if the call was answered by a fax machine or not.

If MaxTries is 3 and MaxDials is 8 and if the line is always busy then 
it will dial 8 times.  If it is answered by a fax machine but has some 
failure, then it will try 3 times.

Lee.
