Ummm, sounds like some *real* stress testing to me ... I think I
should use those numbers in my next announcements ;-)

In the latest version (if you want to upgrade - basically, if it works
now, don't!) you can simply #define FAX_SEND_MAX_TRIES 0, then it will
never re-send a page. Not bulletproof (sometimes the page is *really* bad,
though I've never experienced it...) - but better than 15 copies all the
time.

BTW, anybody any idea why some machines complain about "page bad, retrain
requested" but others don't? Timing issues? Carrier?
