Newbie question

Thanks Gert / Russell,

What I'm trying to do though is utilize the modems on my access servers that
are spread out around the country. In this way I can fax another city for
the cost of a local call. 

The way it should work is that I have an terminal server in Melbourne that
connects to my interstate terminal servers. That part isn't much of a
problem and I can talk fine to my remote sites. Its only when I start faxing
that things get a little shaky.

Thanks anyway. I'll keep going unless someone can suggest something.

Tim

Works fine through a rocketport board.  I've got 16 serial ports on my 
desktop machine:

# ttyR0 = Pilot
# ttyR1 = ZyXEL 2864       <- faxing
# ttyR2 = Camera
# ttyR3 = upstairs display
# ttyR4 = Weather Monitor
# ttyR5 = ZyXEL 1496       <- faxing
# ttyR6 = servo controller
# ttyR7 = Bottle Rocket
# ttyR8 = touchpad
