Re: KX-T: fax through 1232

[Paul H. Gusciora]

Rich:

In addition to things that others have noted:

Pro:
1. Putting the fax IN the system allows logging incoming and outgoing length of calls and numbers.
The first time my wife's business was able to confirm (via a 20+ minute call) the fax report which said that 35 pages were sent vs. the people at the receiving end saying that they only received the cover page, the receiving end covered a very large trading error that paid for the phone system >5 times.
2. Using two fax machines for outgoing transmissions can be extremely useful.

Con:
1. Fax machines use modems. Some of the faster fax machines which use a 33.6 KBPS Modem to achieve 3 seconds/page will be limited to 24-28 KBPS or so through the KX-TD1232, unless you have ISDN-BRI, T1 or ISDN-PRI into the KX-TD system.
2. One does have to dial 9 (or 81, 82, ...88) to select a line in a line group before each number, just as for any phone in the system. However (contrary to some of the posts), our experience for 6 years is that one does NOT have to configure a delay, The KX-TD12132 receives the number and buffers enough so that there are no lost digits even from a fax auto-dialer (at least from HP fax machines.)
