Re: [hylafax-users] mass sending fax windows client.

Another issue, how much modems do you recommend for sending so much
faxes? [5000 per day] I'm thinking of 10 USB fax modems on a P4 512MB RAM , 80GB HD.
Will that do the job? If not, what do you recommend?
Usually you can plan on between 30 to 45 seconds per page. If you have
V.34-Fax/SuperG3 and/or JBIG support then the average page-send time
will be less than that.
But, going off of a 45 second figure per page for 5000 one-page faxes
that need to all be sent within an 8-hour window:
time slots per window = 8h * 60m/h * 60s/m / 45s
time slots per window = 640
modems+lines needed for load = 5000 faxes / 640 faxes per modem
modems+lines needed for load = 8 modems
Recalculate by adjusting your time window and your expected average
time-per-fax.
