Thanks, I'll look into the modem priority. I should be able to make
the less busy modems have higher priority to send faxes.
As far as setting the win print hylafax modem that would do but it
would be too much work in 60 people office. (maybe if there were less
then 20)

I don't know if it cycles through. As I watched my previous 3 modems
it would always start sending at ttyS0 if that is busy it would go to
next ttyS3 if that was busy it would then go to ttyS5.

I think that how it works, no cycling through.
