Re: flexfax: questions on modemclass, where and how

[Josh Duncan <duncan@msmd.com>]

Hello,

I noticed on the web pages that the default for sending faxes is the "any"
ModemClass.  So I  think I should be able to set up the outbound modem
in the "any" class(leaving out the inbound modem) then by virtue of only
tellingpeople the one incoming fax phone number I can restrict incoming
faxes to one line/modem., and outbound faxes would get restricted to the
other line/modem. and with your help, now I know where to put the
modemclass config info :)

Man, I need to think things through more clearly the first time i think
about them.  this isn't rocket science.  None the less, though, thanks for
the help.
