I assume that "continue" means disconnect, redial, and transmit the next pages. Does this actually help anything? Do the next pages go through without any error? I would worry about this kind of fax behavior because "no response to EOP" is indicative of a problem - and we don't know what it is - sometimes the receiver gets the page still. So if this error happened on every page of a 30-page fax then they would get 90 pages total faxed to them in 90 calls, taking up probably more than two hours of modem time.


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).
