- @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.
