Re: [hylafax-users] Question on modem groups

[Nicholas Bernstein <nick@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is the part that confuses me; Can I set up two host groups, say A,
and B, where

        ModemGroup: "A: ttyM1[a,b,c]"
        ModemGroup: "A: ttyM1[d,e,f]"

And then send out using one of those modem groups using something like a
        sendfax -h A -d 1.222.333.1234 /some/file.tiff 

or are the modem groups just for use with reserving modems for receiving
only??

I'm also guessing that other references to ModemClass have been
depreciated in favor of ModemGroup, correct?
