Yes, thank you, that was my point.  In the problem scenarios we've seen 
in the now-distant past we had faxq running 99% CPU with very little 
else going on (although there should have been a lot going on).  In this 
scenario faxq is able to keep all the modems occupied... and despite the 
load the system was always responsive and none of the fax sessions 
failed as one would expect if they had not had sufficient processor 
attention.

Thanks,

Lee.
