Digital signature - Bob Bedford wrote: It's a voice/data/fax modem, and as I've only one phone line, I'd like it to detect and answer only if it's a fax or data call. If it's a phone call, he shouldn't answer. How it is possible to do so ??? it's there any program or configuration ?What 'budgie' said is good advice and I recommend it, but there also used tobe devices that would answer the call, listen, and then route the call toyour FAX machine, modem, or phone depending on what it heard. I hate thosedevices because, in the days before anyone could get dial-in internetaccess, I ran a Fido BBS and UUCP mail site that delivered mail by makingdirect phone calls to other sites who would pass the mail on, etc. One ofthe sites I called frequently installed one of those devices and then theadministrator left on vacation and, true to Murphy's Law, his computercrashed almost before the sound of the slamming door had faded. For twoweeks, my computer called his countless times every night, and a charge wasincurred because the device answered the call... but, when it sent ringvoltage to his modem, it didn't answer, so there was no sound to let mymodem know that it had indeed gotten though (if it had connected to a modem,for instance, but not been able to strike up a conversation with a computerat the other end, it would have quit calling after a few bad connections pernight.) Since long distance was far more expensive back then, the resultwas a pretty inflated phone bill!--Geoffrey Welsh
