It's based on ModemPriority.  And if multiple modems that are available 
at the time of queuing have the same ModemPriority then they are 
"cycled" via a round-robin approach.

I'm not sure what you mean.  When jobs are requeued they are given a new 
time-to-send.  When that time arrives then faxq again finds an available 
modem and sends them with that available modem.

So if you have three modems ttyS0, ttyS1, and ttyS4, and if they all 
share the same (default) ModemPriority, and if one job gets submitted 
then it will get sent out of the modem that first became available.  
Let's say that was ttyS0.  Let's say the job encounters a busy signal 
and no other jobs are submitted.  Then after the new time-to-send 
expires it will look for another available modem to send with, but this 
time it will start looking with ttyS1.  The next time with ttyS4.

Does this answer your question?

Lee.
