I don't know enough about the spid stuff, but you should be able to create 
two interfaces in capi.conf (instead of one), which devices=1 for each.
So you should be able to set different settings for each channel.

When using fax via capi with Eicon cards, the echo canceler should not be 
used automatically.

Maybe a problem with setting fine/normal resolution?

See above.
