    Hi, 
    
    I have 2 modems that litsens to 2 phone lines.  I would like them to store 
the received faxes in separate directories.
    
    I noticed that all the faxes by both modems are stored in the 
"${SPOOL}/recvq".  Is there any way to change this directory (e.g. specify a 
parameter in the configuration file or specify a switch in a command) other 
than modifying the source code?  
    
You don't indicate why you want two separate directories.  If you want to
distinguish which files have been received on which devices then that's
easy; the info is in the file and/or in the xferlog file.  If you want to
control access then you can use the RecvFileMode parameter to control that
based on device.  Otherwise you can modify/replace the faxrcvd script to
move the files to some other place that you prefer and/or change permissions
and/or ownerships.
