[hylafax-users] 2+ External serial modems?

["Sam Currie" <Sam.Currie@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi guys,

 

I'm currently testing a Hylafax system which I hope to go live with next week.  Testing has been very successful and it is working like a gem.  Our plan at this stage is to simply use it to receive faxes.  To many policy related headaches to move to PC based sending at this time!!!

 

Anyway, my question is:

 

I have been testing the system using two external serial modems.  They are old Netcomm E11F's, very reliable and stable.  But I would like to add a third modem.  Now my plan was to simply add an ISA 2 serial port card to the PC to give it a total of 4.  Then simply add another E11F the same way I did for the first two.

 

But I was just reading the How-To and I noticed under the 'External Serial Modems' section it would seem this does not work.  Though I will admit I didn't understand why.  Can someone please expand on this?

 

I'm new to Hylafax and only moderately experience with Linux.  This will be only our second Linux based production system.

 

My environment is:

 

Red Hat Linux 7.3

Hylafax 4.1.7

 

Thank you very much,

 

Cheers, Sam
