Multiple Modems

Jim L.

Using XP Pro and OL 2003 is there a way to install multiple modems (and
phone lines) for sending & receiving faxes? Thank you.

It probably depends on the Fax software you are using to see if it supports
multiple modems.

Thanks Milly, I guess by Russ's reply and yours that some additional
software is needed. Is there a product, or some additional information, I
can search for to see if this is feasible? I want at least two modems
connected to two seperate phone lines if possible.

MoreInfo

There are quite a few software packages that will allow
sending/receiving faxes using multiple modems. Simply from a "space"
perspective, I'd suggest using a Brooktrout multi-channel modem. These
can scale from a single channel all the way up to 32 channels on the
same PCI board. From a software perspective - a low cost solution for
small systems, you might check out GFI fax. For a larger business
solution, Rightfax is the market leader. Each has an Exchange connector
and each supports multiple channel Brooktrout boards.

Hope this helps.

Why not upgrade your PC to Win 2003. The standard version will allow up to 4
lines. Still cheaper than a Brooktrout card.
