    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?

A: Check the man page of sendpage(1) for the flag "-l" and
the man page of the SNPP daemon part of hfaxd(1M) for the
config values KillTimeMap and RetryTimeMap. In the default
service level (=1) the default KillTime is 5 minutes. Either
use another service level for your jobs or change the mapping
in the KillTimeMap.
