Iīd like to know if itīs possible to send a fax in Winfax Pro 10.03
whithout having to hang-up the call. It would something like the
"Manual Receive" function, but instead of receiving it would be to be
sending the fax.

Tks in advance for any help.

Why do you want it to not hang up after sending?

No, thatīs not the point. What Iīm trying to do is, for example, I
call someone talk with the person for a while and during the same
call, without hanging-up the phone, send a fax to him, like you do on
a normal fax machine. Do you got my problem?

I wasn't making a point. I was asking a question. And I'm pretty sure even
a normal fax machine cannot send a fax while you are on the phone talking to
that person. It has to dial the number and comunicate to the other fax
machine. It cannot do that when the line is in use.

I'm not familiar with WinFax Pro I know the XP fax program cannot. Maybe
someone else here can help with some anwers for ya.....

When making a voice call, with a standard fax machine, you can switch modes,
from voice to fax, during the same session without hanging up the line.
However, I have never seems any computer faxing system, Windows or Unix,
which would allow this. The faxing systems always assume that the fax modem
needs to directly call the receiver's fax.

My whole doubt is because the Winfax program has an option for "Manual
receive" of a fax and that is, as you said, switching modes during the
same session without hanging up the line. Thatīs why I was wondering
if I can send a fax the same way, it would like a "Manual Send" option
(which if exists in Winfax I havenīt been able to find).

BTW, tks for your help! :-)

You should be able to send a fax during a phone call if you have a standard
telephone plugged into the SAME TELEPHONE LINE as the Fax modem AND you go
into modem properties and select to NOT wait for a dialtone. I haven't
tried this under Windows XP yet, but one used to be able to turn off the
"wait for dialtone" feature, compose a fax with a short (1 or 2 digit) bogus
phone number, make the phonecall to a person-assisted Fax machine with the
telephone, and send the fax to the person talking on the handset of this
dedicated Fax machine by telling him/her to press the "Start" button when
your modem finish sending the 1 or 2 touchtones you gave for the bogus
number.
