I have installed faxing services on my sbs 2003 server and now evertime I
send a fax our old fax machine on the same phone will get the fax along with
the person I sent it to. Also when I send a fax from our old fax machine, It
will get to the last page and error out. The fax will not get to the person.
The faxing server works great it I unplug the old fax machine, but I want to
keep it on the same phone line to send signed docs. Has anyone had this same
trouble?


Thanks

The old fax machine should do just what its doing. It doesn't know about
your fax server, it only knows how to respond to the CNG tones the fax
server on the same phone line is sending, it hears them, and it prints the
fax being sent, just like it should. As to the send error its experiencing,
that may be another conflict it has with having your fax server connected to
the same phone line. The simplest fix is to unplug the old fax machine from
the phone line until it's needed; when you need to use it, plug it in and
unplug the fax server. The other alternative is separate phone lines for
each.
