Re: [hylafax-users] Multiple modem setup.

["Sid Lambert" <sid@jsisign.com>]

I am finally getting around to setting this up.

I am running the bulk fax on modem0 and the normal fax on modem1. I have the
priority set to 1 on modem0 and 255 on modem1. When a user submits a job
from whfc it gets assigned to modem any. I think this can be handled by me
changed ModemGroupS1 to ``any.cuaa'' 1 for modem1. Is this correct?

I am submitting the bulk fax list in one command from CLI. If there a few
jobs in the queue that are going out on modem0, the jobs that need to go out
on modem1 have to wait until their queue number comes up. How can I change
this?
