faxcomexlib and multiple fax modem cards
-
I have in place an application that sends faxes using a single modem card loaded on a server. I am installing a second modem card on the server and I was wondering if anybody out there knows how it will effect my current coding. I am trying to allocate traffic to both cards, is that done automatically by windows? How will the statuses be reported? Please help as I can't find any information or manual that explains this. Thank you in advance

Years ago I had a server (WindowsNT) with 8 serial ports installed, one of them being connected to a modem. The fax software required that I assign a specific port to use; it would not allocate ports even if I had modems connected to several different ports. Since then I've had Windows 2000, 2003, and 2008 Servers, and I don't recall any of them supporting modem pooling. That doesn't imply necessarily that they don't - I've never really looked for it before. But I think I would have seen some mention of it by now. The RRAS function would do this, but not the built-in Fax function. If you'd like to tackle this as a project, it would make for an interesting article!
