@ECHO OFF
ECHO The biggest misconception about PRIVATE SECRETARY (or any similar program)
ECHO is that is it (or could be) an AUTOMATIC fax router/switch. It is impossible
ECHO for PRIVATE SECRETARY (or any program alone) to automatically detect whether
ECHO an incoming call was a fax or voice call without the distinctive ringing
ECHO services. It can (and is done) without the distinctive ringing services with
ECHO hardware and firmware you can purchase. These devices are known as automatic
ECHO fax routers and similar names and can be found at most electronic and business
ECHO speciality stores. I have seen prices ranging from $100 to $250. I have also
ECHO seen prices as low as $69 in discount catalogs. Shop wisely.
ECHO The second most-often asked question will surely be how to configure
ECHO PRIVATE SECRETARY to work in the background. PRIVATE SECRETARY does NOT work
ECHO in the background. PRIVATE SECRETARY was developed as a modem productivity
ECHO tool - to be used when the user is away from their computer.
ECHO The last point we would like to clear is our fax number, 817-249-4284. This
ECHO line is a FAX LINE ONLY. It is NEVER answered by voice. Also, we receive
ECHO dozens of calls each week promising registrations if we'll only answer their
ECHO question immediately by phone or fax. Many months back we did a survey and
ECHO found that we were developing a large phone bill and a stack of promises. If
ECHO you are a non-registered user by all means fax us your questions, but please
ECHO include your proper mailing address for a reply by mail. We do offer (often
ECHO same-day) fax response to REGISTERED users.
