Has anyone out there used a FAX modem such as the Dove or Abaton and also wanted to wake up the Mac when the phone rings instead of keeping it on all the time? I have seen some cards for the PC that have this wake up feature. Also, I would like to use my answering machine on the same line, meaning, if the incoming call is a person, they will not see the FAX but will be greeted by the answering machine; if it is a FAX, the tones will be detected by the FAX modem and the line to the answering machine cut off. The Murata FAX machines (models M1100, M1750, M1800, M1850) have built in facilities for this but they are more expensive than FAXmodems. Any help will be greatly appreciated; I will collect and post responses. Thanks a bunch. Caglan M. Aras aras@eceris.ncsu.edu| Experts know more and N. C State Univ. | more about less and ECE Dept.
