Screening for Fax Calls with Panther?

Posted by Cliff on from the don't-pick-up-unless-it-squeals-at-you dept.

Peter Brodsky asks: "Panther advertises faxing as one of its cool, new features. If you're like me, and you have one land line, which you use for DSL and voice, you don't want to hook up a fax machine that will answer after X rings, because if after X rings it picks up and starts beeeep, beeep, bleeeeping at you, you cut yourself off from voice mail... which is programmed to pick up after Y rings. Is there a way to make your Panther box 'screen' for fax calls before it picks up?"

    Cool. By posting that link, you're also helping those of us thinking about buying Macs, who want a ready db of support websites.

    Got any more URLs you think are must-haves?
