Sendfax can also make use of five, ten, twenty modems. Just add them to
the

"fax-devices tty4c:tty5c:ttyS17:ttyS23"

line.

Naturally, sendfax will only use one modem at a time. If you want to use
many modems in parallel, either:

 - run two or three copies of "faxrunq" at the same time, and ignore the
 messages about "job already locked".
 - run the faxrunq*d* daemon that I just sent to the list two weeks ago,
 or wait for it to appear in 1.1.10. Faxrunqd handles multiple modems
 in parallel just nicely.

If this didn't answer your question, please rephrase it in a way that it's
clear what you want to achieve, and where your problem is.
