[hylafax-users] ModemGroups and DestControls

["Adam Fox" <afox@gribbles.com.au>]

Hi all,

I had a question at the start of September last year about sending fax jobs
to multiple modem pools depending on the destination number using one hylafax
server. I got a response saying use the ModemGroup and DestControls option in
the config file and upgrade to version 4.1 of hylafax.

So I upgraded hylafax and put in the following lines into the etc/config file:


ModemGroup:		ADE:ttyp3
ModemGroup:		MEL:ttyS1
DestControls:	etc/destctrls

and this is what my etc/destctrls file looks like:

^03		Modem = MEL
^08		Modem = ADE

When I send fax jobs using the command:

sendfax -n -d 0881234567 testfax.txt

the fax job sometimes goes on the modem ttyp3 and sometimes go on ttyS1. And
if I send two jobs at the same time to go to two different numbers starting
with 08, they go on both ttyp3 and ttyS1.

What we would like is a group of about 3 modems in Adelaide and 3 modems in
Melbourne to handle the faxing, so we would have our modem groups setup as:


ModemGroup:		ADE:ttyp[123]
ModemGroup:		MEL:ttyp[456]

and the destctrls set up the same as before. If we have lots of faxes sent to
Adelaide numbers at once, we would like the faxes to only use the Adelaide modems
and not the Melbourne modems, and vice versa for Melbourne.

Has anyone had experience in setting up a system like this? Or does anyone know
where I'm going wrong with the configuration. I've looked over the man pages
100's of times now and I don't think I've missed anything!

Thanks for any help,

Adam Fox.
