Let me make sure that I understand.  You want a feature that prevents 
outbound faxing from completely prohibiting your receiving on shared-use 
modems.  Is this right?

If that is right, there currently is no easy way to make that happen.  
If you have control of the client-side of things then you could, in 
theory, do some things with the time-to-send that could approximate your 
needs, but admittedly it would be imperfect.

In considering how to add such a feature, I think maybe something along 
the lines of a "scheduler time-to-send granularity" would be 
appropriate.  Meaning that the scheduler would not schedule the delivery 
of two jobs closer than the configured granularity.  The effect of such 
a feature would "stagger" the sending of jobs over a longer period of 
time, the "gaps" in sending deliberate, then, for the purpose of 
allowing incoming calls to be received.

Please confirm that this is what you desire.

Thanks,

Lee.
