Ability for Win911 to switch modems in case of failure
It would be nice if Win911 was able to failover to a redundant modem in case of failure for a Win911 system without a redundant system.

WIN-911 supports a "round robin" configuration for multiple SMS modems in the same installation. This is not a failover configuration, if both modems are active, the modem used for any one notification is chosen based on fast performance. Alerts will retry on another modem if they fail on the first modem. For failover WIN-911 licenses, the Ultimate Edition now includes a second license intended for failover system implementation.
