Hi,
I'm using Windows 2003 fax with 4 fax devices configured for send/receive.
Well it is working fine, I'm submitting fax from the same machine by
printing to the local fax printer.
The problem is the following:
1) I submitted a 6 pages fax. Microsft Fax starts to send the fax
2) Meanwhile I've sent another fax. MS Fax puts this in PENDING status on
the outgoing faxes queue.
3) When the first fax has finished the second one start the dialing process
and then is sent.

This happen always with the other 3 fax devices idle.

My question is: why MS Fax does not send more than 1 fax concurrently ?

The strange thing is that trying the broadcast fax feature, that is
providing more than 1 recipients, the faxes are sent concurrently ?
Any hints ?
Rgds,
Christian

Hi all,

I have the same problem. I use VB to send a fax with com

Set FaxServer = CreateObject("FaxServer.FaxServer")
FaxServer.Connect ("Myservername")
FileName = "c:\filetosend.txt"
Set FDdoc = FaxServer.CreateDocument(FileName)

FDdoc.FaxNumber = "0810394949"
FDdoc.RecipientName = "test"
JobId = FDdoc.Send()


It's work find but only 1 modem used by the fax spool. And i can't find
some thing to change. It's impossible to have 2 modem device on the
priority 1.

Thank for all sugestion.

Ok, i find the problem it's microsoft limit. But strange i use W2K and
only 1 device it's used to send.

It's say on this webpage :
http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/FAQFAX.htm#_Toc88835150

On all versions of Windows XP and in Windows Server 2003 Web Server, the
device limit is 1.

On all versions of Windows 2000, the device limit is 2.

On Windows Server 2003 Server and Windows Server 2003 Embedded, the
device limit is 4.

On Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Server and Windows Server 2003 Data
Center Server there is no device limit.
