After 4 rings, the answering machine picks up.
After 2 more rings, the fax machine picks up. If it detects
a fax modem sending, it responds. Otherwise it hangs up.
Eventually the answering machine hangs up, having recorded
the fax "conversation".
Is that what happens?
If so, why does it matter where the answering machine is?
Because the sending fax machine on the other end has already
sent part of the fax to the answering machine & then receiving
fax machine will never receive what the answering machine
intercepted besides I know of no one that wants an answering
machine full of messages that are nothing but data fax tones.
I asked two questions, Wayne. Are you saing that what I described
is accurate?
Also, I thought that the two fax modems had to go through a
handshake sequence before the sender would send. If the answering
machine answers and the fax sends out the initial "moose call",
it will not get a response. So it will keep sending until it
either times out or the receiver fax modem goes off-hook and
responds.
Is that correct, as far as you know?
