doc bug




In 4.0pl1, man 5 config says:

 Tag            Type       Default          Description
[...]
 MaxDials-      integer    unlimited        max phone calls to make to transmit a job

but the default value is actually 12, taken from FAX_REDIALS
(config.h) through hfaxd/Jobs.c++.

Currently, it's puzzling that sendfax -T 50 still gives up after 12
tries. You have to specify a value for maxtries in ~fax/etc/config to
make this work, but this this isn't suggested by the man page. The
code probably does the right thing - the documentation should be
changed.

Don't ask why I need maxdials=50.
