[hylafax-users] Multiple Modems: All need to receive but only 2 should ever send

[CKennedy@kennedytech.com]

I've read through documentation, faqs and mailing list archives and haven't
yet found the information I need to solve my problems:
I'm running Hylafax 4.1.2-1rh7 on RedHat 7.1.  I have 4 Multitech MT1932ZDX
Modems.  Two are on standard COM ports and two are on a Digi Classic PCI
4-port board.

First:
I have 4 modems: all of them should be available to receive faxes but only
2 of them should be available for outbound use.  The first thing that I
tried is to add the following line to /var/spool/hylafax/etc/config:

     ModemGroup              "any:   ttyCP.*"

And, in the script that calls 'sendfax', I export MODEM="any".  However,
outbound faxes still use modems other than those specified by my modem
group.  Just for reference, I have 2 modems on /dev/ttyS0 and S1 and 2
modems on /dev/ttyCP0 and CP1.


Second:
'Sendfax' takes the "-h" argument for explicitly stating which modem to
use.  It works for the first fax in a sequence of faxes.  However, jobs
that are put in the queue before the first one is finished are "blocked by
concurrent job" even though the specified (second) modem is ready and
waiting.


I really don't like having to use the second method since it requires
additional silly logic to use modems in a round-robin fashion.

What am I doing wrong that is preventing me from making the First option
work correctly????


Any help is appreciated!
