- A friend of mine and myself went around and around with the silent answer
- option in our 1.2H roms. First off you will need to patch your original
- GPFax with the 2.21 patch file. That is if you don't have 2.21 already.
- Next you will need an answering machine. Run GPFax and set the ring
- detector to 1 more ring than your answering machine answers at. Next thing
- you can do is get a friend who has a lot of patience to call you voice and
- FAX to try it out. We considered ourselves lucky if we got the modem to
- answer a FAX call 2 times in a row.:( Good luck!
