- Hello;
-
- my telco told me that many FAX machines can now detect distinctive ring
- patterns. Are there any fax/modems that have this feature??
-
- I am currently using a device that listens to the incoming call to
- determine if it is voice, fax, or data. This works, however the device blocks
- any caller ID info from reaching my telephone.
-
- A distinctive ring sensitive fax/modem sounds like it would solve my
- problem. I could run the telco line from the wall to the fax/modem and then
- to my telephone. I am hoping the fax/modem will only intercept the incoming
- call if the correct ring pattern is detected, otherwise the incoming call
- would pass cleanly to the telephone with the caller ID info intact.
-
- Does anybody have any info on fax/modems that are "distinctive ring
- sensitive"??
-
- Many Thanks.
- Bernie.
