    Here is my problem - if fax cannot be delivered succesfully faxserver
    dials same number - unpredicable (for me) number of times. As I see it 
    there is supposed to be a way to limit the number of dials with either 
    NoCarrierRetrys, MaxDials or MaxTries variable - and I tried to set that, 
    but with no success...
    
    my config.cua1 looks like:
    
	<...stuff deleted...>
    #
    NoCarrierRetrys:        3               # retry 3 times on no carrier
    MaxDials:               3               # da ne gnjavi ljude ...
    MaxTries:               3               # i dalje da ih ne gnjavi
    #
    PagerSetupCmds:         ATS41=10%B300   # use V.21 at 300 bps

	<...stuff deleted...>
    
MaxDials is enforced by the scheduler process so the parameter must be
specified in faxq's config file.  If you obtain the v4.0 sources (or just
the manual pages) you will see that the v4.0 hylafax-config(4F) documentation now
explicitly identifies which config file(s) configuration parameters are
expected to appear in.  Hopefully this will clear up confusion of this sort.
