As I have understood, it does'n mean redialing. It just ignore errors of 
"end of page handshaking" and will continue with next page.

From mgetty manual:
------
max-tries-continue y

After the maximum number of tries for one page are reached, sendfax can 
report an error and abort (max-tries-continue no), or go on with the 
next page (yes).
