flexfax: Multiple serial ports/modems on Sun workstation

[Andy Smith <abs@maunsell.co.uk>]

Hi,

I have HylaFAX running just fine on an IPX/Solaris 2.5.1, but would like
to extend the facility now by adding more modems.  The IPX has a dumb
terminal console on /dev/cua/a and a single modem on /dev/cua/b.  Can
anyone tell me what are the supported ways of extending this.  I presume
sun serial add on boards have been tried and tested, I probably only need
one more modem (ie 1 inbound and 1 outbound) to satisfy the current demand.
(NB. I have headless IPX's coming out of my ears at the moment, I almost
considered configuring one host for outbound and one for inbound, but it's
just one more host to be looked after/backed up/maintenance contract etc,
so it's probably worth spending money to keep the facility on one host)

Thanks.
