The point here is that the sending modem will ignore whatever the receiving
modem is doing until it finishes transmitting it's dial string. Note that
the phone system should connect the receiving Fax machine as soon as the
last correct digit of the phone number is transmitted; this distant fax
machine is being dialed and should answer and send it's recorded message
while the sending modem is still chewing it's way through the commas at the
end of the dial string. Eventually the sending modem will run out of commas
and switch to listen mode and the receiving machine should finish it's
recorded announcement. If the sending machine finishes roughly the same
time as the receiving end, they should both begin their Fax negotiation
tones about the same time, and the system should work.
