DR>JOHN MURRAY spoke thusly to: PAT STIEHM
DR>JM>We have a dual-ring line in our home. (Actually, we have three
DR>JM>numbers on the same line.  1-800 also.)  The second ring is for the
DR>JM>fax, and we don't answer it.  fax will respond to incoming faxes
DR>JM>AFTER answering machine answers.  Some faxes can't handle this, and
DR>JM>we get hangups.
DR>   Not only can't the inbound fax's handle that, but many times the
DR>sender will monitor the call and when they hear a machine they will
DR>dump the call, esp. if they don't know that the fax answers after the
DR>machine.  I know, I've done that on occasion myself till a friend
DR>clued me in.
DR>   Dick
On way I've tried to solve that problem is to give instructions on
sending a fax with the answer machine announcement.  That has worked for
me so far.
