[comp.dcom.telecom] Fax Sharing a Line With Voice; Distinctive Ringing

ndallen@contact.uucp (Nigel Allen) (01/21/91)

A while ago, someone asked whether there was a device that could
switch incoming calls (perhaps to a fax machine or voice) based on the
distinctive ringing service offered by many telephone companies.
 
I have received some sales literature from a Canadian company that
offers Ring ReaderTM, which does exactly that.  I have not seen the
device in use, and I know nothing about the company beyond the sales
literature.
