You're talking about a "perfect" world" :-). There's
no such thing, people configure the fax machines in
very different ways. One set answer after 5 rings
because thiks the other side will be pleased knowing
he is answering, other 7 rings because uses the same
line for voice calls and don't want to be disturbed
with the fax answering (they simple don't know that
alot of machines has a function to cancel the fax
answer), other just one because don't want miss any
call...
Elas, you simple don't have a standard but, I must say
that waiting for a maximum of 7 rings (I know it's
odd), will fit all "standards" ;-)
