Multiple modems with Win2k versions

[Steve McGuire]

Does any version of the Win2k fax service support multiple
lines? I am aware of the two-line limitation. Either one
of my two Bocamodem MV.34E modems can send, but together,
only the one with priority 1 will send, even when there
are more jobs in the queue. The result is that all fax
jobs are limited to being sent out of the priority 1
modem. This behavior is seen on Win2kPro sp4, and Win2k
Server SP4. I think this might be similar to Q225384,
although the KB article didn't provide a specific
resolution and the product in question was SBS. The
Bocamodem MV.34E enumerates as a PnP serial device, and
supports Class1 operations.
Any thoughts?
Steve

As mentioned in the article, did you make sure that the modem driver files
are up-to-date? If you are really desperate about using two modems, you can
try replace one modem with a modem of a different manufacturer - I think
this is going to solve your problem. Let us know what you find.

Steve,

Set both modems to both send and recieve. I did this on
a W2K box and both started sending perfectly.
