There are a lot of multiple modem questions, but I can’t find the one that applies to my scenario. I need to be able to route all traffic to modem 1 when user A logs in and route user B traffic to the other modem. There would only be 2 users configured for the sole purpose of separating traffic for an att modem and the other t-mobile modem. Any ideas?

How about this?

Actually it looks like you posted that question as well.

So I guess there is something about it that doesn't address your scenario.

The response is basically talking about sender based routing.

Under the "Properties" for each modem in the "SMSC" list, add a "Phone Number" definition for the modem.

Under the individual "SMS Users" accounts, define a "Forced Sender Address" that matches one of the "Phone Number" definitions for a modem. Messages from that "SMS Users" account will be routed out the modem with a matching phone number.

So you match the "Forced Sender Address" for user A with the "Phone Number" of modem 1.

And you match the "Forced Sender Addres" for user B with the "Phone Number" of modem 2.

User A submits a message, it goes out modem 1 because of sender-based routing.

User B submits a message, it goes out modem 2 because of sender-based routing.
