Distinctive ring in Winfax 8

[Gary Welland]

I want to use distinctive ring with Winfax 8. My modem, Motorola
VoiceSurfr V90, has it and it's enabled but when I goto to
SETUP->TELEPHONE SERVICES->DISTINCTIVE RING in Winfax all I get is the
Help file about it.

What am I doing wrong, anyone.

This may not apply, but I had (I thought) a problem with my USR modem,
similar to yours.

Anyway, you don't set the distinctive ring in WinFax, just the number of
rings. Instead go to Start, Settings, Control Panel and select modems.
Once you've done that, select Properties. One of the tabs should be
Distinctive Ring. On my machine, I had to set Single Ring to Voice, and
Double ring to Unspecified. On yours though try setting Double ring to Fax
first and if that doesn't work try Unspecified.

Hope this helps.
