BROTHER 475-M FAX MACHINE and PC FAX/MODEM competition

I  have  a Brother 475-M fax machine which seems  to  be  working 
fine,  except I can not switch it off except by pulling the  plug 
out.  I have a fax modem on the same line as the 475-M and  would 
prefer  to have the fax/modem receive incoming faxes rather  than 
use  the paper in the 475-M. I have the modem set to answer on  1 
ring, but even if I put the 485-M to the position where no LED is 
on  in the AUTO - TAD and F/T options, the 475-M always  ends  up 
printing  the  fax. The Brother is set to 4 rings and F/T  to  60 
secs.

Can anyone advise  me  how to disable the fax  so  I  can  receive 
incoming faxes via the fax modem - without unplugging it!.

Does anyone have a copy of the manual they'd be prepared to  scan 
and send me via e-mail attach?
