Re: flexfax: Sending to a line shared between voice and fax

[Jens Rehaag <jens.rehaag@tu-clausthal.de>]

Hi,

you might have the same problem I have: While dialling, the modem sends
its beep-tones to tell the other side it wishes to send a fax, but once
someone
picks up the phone and says something, the beeps stop...
Has anyone a solution to this problem?

Greetings
