Wait.  You CAN'T do this.  Once you stick a Linmodem in your system you 
CANNOT add any other modem because the Linmodem driver corrupts the 
behavior of the serial driver.  This may not apply to USB modems, but it 
does apply to external serial modems.

AND... having read this thread... sooner or later your client is going to 
have to do this thing right.  And, the right way is to use a multiport 
modem (MultiTech ISI, Comtrol RocketModem, Equinox) or to go digital (T1 
and something like the Eicon Diva Server).  If you went with something 
that supported Super G3 faxing (V.34) then you would save some serious 
time in faxing to that number of destinations.

Lee.
