Multiple instances of procomm

[VikramChand]

Hi,

I have around 100 connection directories and have two systems with seperate modems installed one for each, have to dail all the 100 connections in single day and send out files.

Since there is no time to send all of them i would like to know if i can have two are more instances of procomm dailing out at the same time (OR) would it be possible to do it using modem pooling.

Any suggestion are welcome.

Thanks
Vikram

Procomm shouldn't have any problems doing this. I remember seeing machines with three or four modems sending broadcast faxes when I tested Procomm eons ago. I think the only thing you'll need to be concerned about is that I think a particular connection is associated with each Connection Directory entry, so you may need to edit your entries so that 50% of the entries are assigned to one modem and the other half are assigne to the other modem. My work machine doesn't have a modem, so I can't double check myself, but that's how I think Procomm works with data connections.

Vikram, I was able to look at my Procomm setup at home tonight and I think the easiest way to do this (untested at this time!) is to configure all your entries to use Current Connection instead of a specific modem. Then, each session of Procomm you use would be set to use a particular modem that is not used in the other sessions. The best way to this would be to have a different Procomm shortcut for each modem, with each shortcut having a script associated with it that sets the modem to use. The script would look like this:

proc main
set modem connection "connection_name"
endproc

where connection_name would be replaced by the name of your modem as it appears in the Quick Select Line box at the bottom of the Procomm window.
