Fax Software that waits for answering machine ??

[John Thomas Smith]

Does there exist a PC Fax program (for Win95) that is "smart" enough
to wait for an answering machine on the same phone line to finish, and
then accept an incoming fax IF the call is a fax and not a voice call?

ElectraSoft's fax software is the answer:-)

On the subject of Data/Voice/Fax:

Solution 1: Go to the ElectraSoft fax software Setup/Configure and set
[Rings-Until-We-Answer] to [Never]] so the fax software will not
answer. If you answer the phone and find that it is a fax, load the
Event Monitor and click the [Answer Now] button. When you here the
modems negotiating, hang up and let the fax come it.

Solution 2: To learn about the Supra "Silent Answer" function, go to
the www-page listed below and download FaxMail. Included with it is a
README, Q and A, and Manual the cover this subject in GREAT detail.

Solution 3: CommShare not only listens for the fax-tone but also for a
code that you can ask the sender to use. This way you do not miss the
fax calls from the 20% of fax machines that do not send the
fax-tone:-) I bought a CommShare at Best Buy.

Solution 4: A modem and phone-line for each function.
