Fax / Voice

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax (More info?)

I just started using a computer for sending and receiving faxes. Is there a
software/hardware solution that will make the computer answer only if it is
a fax coming in. I know stand alone fax machines can do this, but I like
getting my faxes on my computer so I can email them out or refax them
without wasting paper/toner.

I have a Compaq Presario 5838 with the factory installed fax/modem running
Win XP Pro.

I know this has been asked before, and I know that WinXP can't do it
natively, but is there 3rd party software that can make this work?
TIA

You can have the computer answer the phone and take a voice message or
receive a fax. But you'll need a TAPI compliant voice modem and 3rd party
software. See http://www.modemtools.com/phone-works.htm for one example
