Using many modems

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Hello all,

I have a problem when trying to use several modems (even only two) which
answer to the same number. I want someone to be able to call that number
and any modem to take the call. 

Problem is the following: If I have two modems answering the call after
the first ring, the modems kind of collide. The effect is (according to
log-files), that both modems answer the call simultaniously, one of them
does the synchronisation with the other end, the the _other_ modem gets
to receive the incoming fax. (?????)
I have logfiles to document this (unwanted?) behaviour. 

Now, my quick and dirty sollution was to set different ring-counts for
the two modems, but as I need to add more modems (up to twenty or so), I
can't go on adding one to the ring-count for each modem. 

Any ideas??
