I tried that and it made the line unobtainable, iaxmodem seems to be
receiving faxes reliably on the other 2 lines, when I'm in over the
weekend I will try and tweak the settings for the remaining line to see
if I can get it reliably working on that line (would be nice to only
have the line card and ADSL modem on that line).

Thanks for your help.
