I have one telephone line with 2 numbers. The first
number I use for regular incoming calls and the second
number have a distinguish ring which I use to recieve
faxes. The problem I'm having is getting microsoft fax
console to only recognize the distinguish ring as the fax
number. Whenever I call my home using the regular number
my computer answers it as an incoming fax. Now I resort
to manually accepting faxes. Can anyone help me?

Not really, Francis. The MS fax service cannot detect distinctive ring. It
will answer all calls on the physical line if set to automatic.
