Hi Mike,

You will struggle to get 10 USB modems to run reliably.  If this is in
anyway business critical then invest in a decent fax card.

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.

Lee.
