Re: [hylafax-users] multiple faxsend on the same serial

Hi Francesco,

Thanks for the additional information.  I'm copying this to the user group
because it may help other users.

What happens if you power cycle the ZDX ?  Any change in behaviour ?

Regards

Hello Andrew,

I suggested mainpines to my boss, but since they decided to recycle
what we had, I have to do my best to use the Multitech we already have
(MT5600ZDX).
The problem seems not a real wedged modem (I'm sure it's ok), the
problem is always more than one "FaxSend" process using the same
modem, and the result can't be any different from a "wedged" result
from all FaxSend using the same modem. I think this is a
hylafax/configuration problem.
