Re: [hylafax-users] ModemGroups

["Bill Comer" <bill.comer@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I thought this might be logical as well ! & had already tried.

If I do 'sendfax -h ttyds01@hostname ....' then I can successfully
control which modem the fax goes via.

However, if I do 'sendfax -h test@hostname ....' it successfully accepts
the fax onto the queue, 
but alternates successive faxes between the two modems.

Any clues any one ?

It's not mentioned in that many places (or in big BOLD PRINT) but the
sendfax man page mentions it briefly in the -d option:

I know it works with the modem device name, but I haven't seen a
reference to this working with a modem group (but it sounds logical to
me).

Try it and see (then post your results).
