The script you link, if run with $2 == 500, certainly queues 500 on
each port, meaning 1000 faxes.

Are you sure it only queued 250 on each port with 4.2.0?

This is probably batching? meaning that multiple "jobs" are being sent
in a single call.

There area few configuration options you can play with to control
batching:

MaxBatchJobs:	<integer>	How many jobs to allow to go in a single call
BatchLogs:	<bool>		Whether to use a single session log for
				whole batch or not.
