You have no "faxq" or "faxgetty" running. I assume you have run
"faxaddmodem" to set up a modem. Are you using the "hylafax"
script to initialize hfaxd and faxq at boot time? Or did you
intend not to provide dial-up or fax-in service?

yes - the status "Blocked by concurrent job" disappears with sending 2
jobs to different destinations, but the jobs were still queued only
for "port b"     :-(

output of "faxstat -s" with 2 queued jobs:

HylaFax scheduler on faxzh1: Running
Modem cua/a (Fax-Number): Waiting for modem to come ready
Modem cua/b (Fax-Number): Sending job 72

JID Pri S Owner Number        Pages Dials     TTS Status

not yet, but I hope it was not the last hint ...
