Re: [hylafax-users] Modem cycle

[Arno Seidel <a.seidel@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

yes ... this was excatly what i asked for ...!
thank you verry much

but how can i determine the ModemPriority ?
or how can i set it?

my problem is, that some faxmachines (on the other side) don´t
want to talk with our 2 isdn modems and the job is after 12 tries canceled
and if i now add a third modem (an external analog one) i hope that 
every job which could not be transfered throu the isdn-card it would
be transfered after the second try throu the modem ...


regards

Arno
