HylaFAX deliberately shares outgoing loads over all available modems.  
This behavior depends upon how the job was submitted (what modem the 
user requested) and what the various ModemPriority values are.

What you probably want to do is to use the -h option in your sendfax call:

 sendfax -h modem@ -d 5551212
