That's right. But number of such faxes is not so big (about 3%) and it makes sence to send faxes to
those destinations separately.

Thanks. It works

I tried to find it in mailing list using keywords: 33k, fax transmition but no way. Could you please
drop a hint where to get it.

I investigated xferfaxlog and one more idea poped up to my mind. I found that there is delay between
two jobs for each modem. For example modem , let's say, ttyR0 ended job at 19:24:02 and started the
next job at 19:24:23. I understand that it needs some time to reset modem, to initialize server, but
this delay is different (13-23 sec). Also faxstat gives sometimes: Modem ttyR0 (): Running idle
processes.

My question: "Is it possible to change waiting period which modem wait for before go to the next
job?" I understand that changing of this param could cause additional errors, but I'd like to
experiment on it so find the optimum value.

Thanks for help.
