Yeah, that's unfortunate, eh?  You're basically going to have to
live with that, as the amount of money I am paying for a dedicated
phone line ($160 or something per year) makes me want to be able to
receive faxes for that price too.  $160 is more than it would save
callers in that 1 second.  BTW, I don't suppose you noticed when I
was running the Netcomm?  The same day I put in the Viper, I would
have answered your call with adaptive answer on the Netcomm.  I 
wonder if it is strictly necessary to pause after answering the
phone, even with adaptive answer?  I would have thought it could
have issued the modem tones, and if there's a fax on the other
end, it could have interrupted the modem tones?  BFN.  Paul.
