Recognizing Distinctive Ring

[Barbara]

After installing Windows XP, I can no longer
specify 'distinctive ring' for receiving faxes. My
computer now answers every call as if it were a fax. Does
anyone know of any software (or hardware) that can fix
this problem?

Thanx, Barbara

No current operating systems support distinctive ring.

These third party hardware devices can provide a work-around to the lack of
Distinctive Ring support:
