If the modem reports "BUSY" then HylaFAX(+) says it was busy.  If the 
modem reports "NO CARRIER" then HylaFAX(+) says that.  I've never seen a 
modem report "NUMBER DISCONNECTED"... and I'm fairly sure that an analog 
modem would have no means to discern that from the other two reports 
that I mentioned here.  A T1 PRI modem, on the other hand, *may* get 
that kind of information available to it... although I'm not sure.

The number of attempts is typically a client-oriented feature... so you 
would set the "maxtries" and "maxdials" in your client.  However, the 
administrator does have some control over retries by using the JobRetry* 
modem config features.  Furthermore, the administrator can put a 
"MaxTries" and "MaxDials" configuration in the faxq config file 
(/var/spool/hylafax/etc/config), which features are also available via 
JobControl.

Thanks,

Lee.
