Re: [hylafax-users] fax machine intercept faxes from hylafax

[Pedro Rocadas <procadas@yahoo.com>]

I'm not sure, but I think I saw a similar
question/problem in the mailling list some time
ago...but, you can setup the fax machine to only
answer after 2-3 calls? Maybe it's a dumb tip but your
fax machine is "listenning" the line right? If the
destination catch the call first, your fax machine
will remain in stand-by.
