DR>   The only drawback I see with that is if a computer generated the
DR>fax, the software may be timed to abort the call before your
DR>announcement was completed.
I know from experience, but as a computer sender to this type of set
up as well a receiver that it works even with a computer generated fax.
I do thing you have to be very careful the way you set up the anser
function, i.e. follow the manufacturers instructions to the letter.  If
yoiu do it should work.
DR>   I just purchased an MFC (great machines!!!).  It is "smart" enough
DR>to route a voice message to the handset with a distinctive ring.  It
DR>has an option to set it up with an answering machine on the same line.
DR>Just haven't tried that feature yet.
Please let me know how it works once you ahve it set up.
