Computer and External Faxing at the same time
HI.
just found this newsgroup, sorry for the cross-post. here's my plight, bear with me on the long post. my wife has a dedictaed phone line with a HP all in one fax machine hooked up. she receives many faxes, but not all of them always need to be printed. her friends tell her that they use WinXP to receive and send faxes. This is ok, if she creates the documents in Word. she could send them straight out. many times she receives faxes, makes some pen and ink changes and then re-faxes them out. so....on that note, here's what I'm trying to do. 1. keep the fax machine on-line so she can send and receive faxes. 2. have the computer receive faxes if the fax machine doesn't answer in a specified amount of time. I know this is a crazy post, but she is driving me crazy, saying it's got to be possible. If anyone can give me some inside info or point me in the right direction, I would surely appreciate! TIA Ingit |

Assuming you can hook both devices to the same line, why can't you just set
Windows XP Fax to answer after more rings than the fax machine? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Ingit" wrote in message ...

Thanks for responding. I had posted in another group and got to the same
answer. I'm going to set XP to answer at 2 rings and my fax a 6. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ...
