I have installed the fax option in Windows XP home
edition. The fax is supposed to pick up after one ring,
which is what had been happening until recently. Now,
however, the fax answers all calls. I've tried turning
the computer off, reinstalling the fax option, but the
fax still answers all calls. Any ideas?
Thanks.
 
Of course.
When you enable autoanswer, the fax service will answer all calls. It has no
way to distinguish fax calls from other calls.
Behavior as designed. If you thought it was doing otherwise, you were
mistaken.
