I read the whole thread so far, especially using faxrunq with
more than one modem. I would like to use the script anyway,
simply because I'm not PERL-programmer for patching faxrunq*d*
and made a lots of modifications to faxrunq.

When running up to 7 faxrunq-jobs simultaneously I noticed no
problems using *only one* faxdevice. (the modem did hang
sometimes. Seemed to me as Modem / Initproblems)

My intention is no high throughput - faxsystem, but a fast
and reliable one, using at least two modems (thinking of
redundancy as well).

Do I have a slight chance to (re)design faxrunq using multiple
modems ? Well, I'll find out, when I get a second one ;-).


btw think of: faxspool is executed by a win-client, and faxrunq
should be immidiately startet. (users have no x right to faxrunq).
How is it to be done ?
I start it by cron every minute.
Any better ideas for a goal of an immidiate action/response ?
