what does the "-z" option? i can't find this in the man page.

when you set all devices to outgoing-controller 2 (or 1) only 2 jobs (=2 
B-Channels) should be successful.
"Controller" is the S0-port.

are the jobs really sent through an other controller as specified 
according to the logs? this option should work as it does in my 
installation.
you should see something like

CapiFaxSend - INFO: Try to connect to fax number xxx in Hylafax mode on 
controller 2.

define only that amount of different devices you want to offer to 
hylafax for sending.
an example for only one device (leading to only one outgoing job at the 
same time) is:

this allows 2 receiving B-channels. the other 2 are for sending.
