Note
Don't be surprised with the numbering scheme that is used when referencing channels within the system. VSI-
FAX used to use Brooktrout ordinal channel numbering (number range is 0...n-1, where n is the number of
channels in the system). Now it uses Brooktrout logical numbering (number range is 2...n+1, where n is the
number of work channels on this hardware module). Consider the example below:
Name Description FIM ena snd rcv Device
------------ -------------------- ---- --- --- --- -----------
