- That can work, but for automated processing should be done over a
- phone line (because the FAX waits for a RING signal).
- If you're willing to do some manual work, you can connect the two (PC
- and FAX) with a null cable and press the START button on the FAX
- machine once dialing from the modem is complete and the CNG (FAX) tone
- sounds.

- Good luck.
