this afternoon i was giving some thought to purchasing a fax modem for a
new business, but i know very little about how the fax system operates.
could someone please explain to me if a fax modem will be able to tell
if an incoming call is for the fax, or if it'll let the call go thru to
something like a bulletin board. the ideal setup would be one phone line,
have the fax answer when it's for fax, and have the bbs (probably running
RRH/SS) answer when it's not a fax call. can the current fax modems handle
this? would there have to be another piece of hardware that would send the
right code to the fax or bbs? thanks for any replies
