Hi,

I live in The Netherlands and I want winfax to recognise an incoming
voice call from an incoming fax call. How can I set this up? Anyone
knows the answer? This stupid machine answers every call that comes in.
Or is there a fax selector program of some kind maybe???

On the subject of Data/Voice/Fax:

Solution 1: 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 2: Ask your phone company about getting distintive ring. A
lot of fax programs such as 32Bit Fax will support this.

Solution3: A modem and phone-line for each function.

Solution 4: 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 5: 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.

Kind Regards,
