modem unavailable timeouts

["Chuck Mattern" <cmattern@madman.ronin.mindspring.com>]

I run hylafax 4.0 pl1 on a machine with only one modem which has to serve fax, 
dialup and internet connectivity.  If I submit a page request to hfaxd with 
the sendpage client while the modem is off hook for internet access or dialup 
the page times out in five minutes.  I see a mention in the man pages for 
number of attempts and time between attempts but all of these indicate that 
they are based on the number of actual dials and connections.  In my case no 
dial is made at all becasue the modem is unavailable.  I run faxgetty on the 
line and if I run faxstat while the attempt is queued and the modem is 
unavailable I get back the message indicating the hylafax is running and is 
waiting for the modem to become available.

Q: Is there a way to increase the timeout in this situation?

TIA,
Chuck
