Because you're using v6.0.6 I'm not sure if there was a problem in that 
branch of releases that caused hasV34Trouble to not work as I'm used to 
seeing.  You could see if HylaFAX+ v5.5.9 resolves it automatically.  
(No, v6.0.6 is not newer than v5.5.9.)

The "info" file for the destination number in /var/spool/hylafax/info/ 
should have "hasV34Trouble:yes" in it.  The info files are routinely 
purged by faxcron after disuse, and unless you "lock" that setting it 
will get unset through that purge.  So, you can "lock" it by adding an 
ampersand, "&hasV34Trouble:yes".

Thanks,
