Need software recommendation

Friday, June 9, 2006

I have my PC on my business phone line. The line has an
answering machine. I need a fax software package that
will let me use my PC to send/receive faxes with an
answering machine on the same line. The software I have
does not allow an answering machine to use the same phone
line as the fax uses.

Thanks.

Try e-fax. I use it to send and receive faxes when I
travel and it's very convenient

If you want your fax modem to distinguish between
incoming faxes and voice calls, you will need to
implement Call Discrimination. This is usually done with
Distinctive Ring (DR). Distinctive ring is a service from
your telephone provider to allow two or more numbers to
share one line, with each number having a different ring
pattern. If your fax modem has voice capabilities, then
it will distinguish between faxes and voice calls by
recognizing the incoming ring pattern. Check out
modemsite for more info.

You may just need to adjust the rings -- have the fax
pick up on 2, the answering machine pick up on 4, etc.

A good fax modem will listen when the answering machine picks up and
not disconnect the answering machine unless it's a fax call.
