Win2k fax w/ answering machine?

E

Edward Banks

I noticed a post from a month or two ago from Ananda Sarkar, unfortunately
it was not accessible, so I am forced to re-ask this question.

Is it possible to have Win2k's fax service in use with an answering machine
on the same line? I do not have two lines and only occassionally receive
faxes. I want the answering machine to pick up and if it is a fax call, the
fax tone will cause the win2k fax service to intercept and record the fax.

Can this be done? There is no documentation on the ms support site.

Thanks

Distinctive Ring is not supported by Windows 2000. Therefore, Windows 2000
Fax will answer every incoming call it receives. The alternative is to
install
an external switching device to your phone line.
