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?"

    Give them about 3 years, and apple will release them

    You worthless pieces of shit. Everybody else on this web site is talking about extreme programming or Perl tips or the relative merits of C versus C++.

    But you fucking worthless pieces of dog shit are talking about using your $4000 computer to SCREEN FUCKING FAX CALLS!!!

    THIS is why you're such fucking losers and THIS is why NOBODY has any respect at all for your fucking nonexistent technical skills.

    Pussies.
